CLEVELAND (SportsDirect, Inc.) — Cleveland Cavaliers coach David Blatt vowed to get superstar LeBron James more rest during the regular season this year, but the schedule is so far not cooperating. The Cavaliers will play their third game in four nights when they host the Miami Heat on Friday.

Cleveland bounced back from an opening night loss to Chicago by dominating the Memphis Grizzlies on the defensive end in a 106-76 victory on Wednesday.

“The guys came and had energy and purpose,” Blatt explained to reporters.
