 CLEVELAND (AP) - Last season's second-half collapse by Cleveland is still fresh in LeBron James' mind. James hit only four of his first 17 shots but finished with 26 points to lead Cleveland to a 105-92 victory over the Orlando Magic on Tuesday night — moving the Cavaliers 11 games over .500 for the first time since the end of the 1997-98 season.
"This is a great way to come out of the break," James said. "It is very important to not have another lapse."
A year ago, the Cavaliers also won their first game after the All-Star break — then lost six in a row, went on a 9-19 tailspin, and missed the playoffs by one game.
