The Cavaliers were adapting to life with their brand new crew post the All-Star break and lost a couple of close games in this process (one against the Wizards and another against the Spurs). They needed a morale-boosting win against a team with depth, and their win against the Brooklyn Nets provided exactly that.

LeBron went ballistic on the night, scoring 31 points on 25 shots and getting to the line 3 times to knock down 3 clutch free throws. The antics of D'Angelo Russell kept the Nets in the game for most of the 4th quarter, but a botched possession, in the end, gave LeBron and the Cavs total control of the proceedings for the rest of the way.
