The Memphis Grizzlies hosted the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday night. The Cavs went into Friday night’s contest winners of three of their last four games. Memphis is trending in the opposite direction, losing their last seven contests.
Memphis jumped out to an early lead, fueled by their home crowd, building a thirteen-point advantage in the first quarter, finishing the quarter up 27-20. Cleveland erased their deficit and turned it into a lead late in second quarter after a 12-0 run that spanned into the third quarter giving the Cleveland a 56-49 advantage early in the frame.
The Grizzlies came back to cut their deficit to 66-65, at which point, Cleveland went on 19-6 run to end the third quarter with a score of 85-71. With the Grizzlies spirits down, the Cavs continued to pour on the offense in the fourth quarter, outscoring Memphis 27-19 in the final frame to take a 112-89 victory.
Lebron James led the way for Cleveland with a triple-double (18p, 14r, 11a). George Hill added to the offense with 18 points to match James. Tyreek Evans and JaMychal Green carded 15 points each in the loss.

Props to LeBron for playing the 2nd game of a back-to-back against Memphis. This is a classic superstar sit out game, but LeBron takes being the face of the league seriously and really tries to play all 82 games a season...especially on the road for fans that are paying to see him
Yeah i agreee, the King loves to ball, i think the Cavs will definitely win the East after the trades they made
i hope they win the east, I don't think it'll be as interesting with no Lebron in the finals
