Lakers Overcome Slow Start Against Cavaliers To Win Ninth Straight Game

The Los Angeles Lakers overcame a slow start and blew out the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The Cavaliers were aggressive in getting to the paint early as their first five field goals came next to the rim, giving them the early game lead. Meanwhile, Avery Bradley was able to shake loose on cuts for several easy layups, but the rest of the Lakers struggled to convert on their looks.

With Los Angeles playing a zone defense, Cleveland turned to Kevin Love who delivered as he knocked down a pair of jumpers including an open three.
