In Cleveland’s home-opener, Lebron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers gave Charlotte’s debuting coach, Larry Brown, a not-so-pleasant welcome as the Bobcats’ coach. The Cavs defeated the Bobcats 96 - 79.

Lebron James displayed his usual MVP-like performance scoring 22 points, dishing out 9 dimes, and grabbing 9 rebounds. He was one assist and one rebound shy of another one of his triple double performances. Fellow Cavalier Daniel Gibson scored 25 points, 20 of which came from the 1st half, to lead the Cavaliers in scoring. Newcomer Mo Williams did his share of damage by scoring 17 points and dishing out 7 assists for the night. Ben Wallace led the Cavs on the defensive end grabbing 10 boards and swatting 5 shots.

Aside from his great stat-line, Lebron James displayed quickness and strength when he hammered (could be an understatement) two dunks while leaving the Bobcats’ defense lost in translation. The first one came in the first few minutes of the game when he penetrated down the lane and left his defender dumbfounded as he could only watch Lebron from the backseat. The second one came in the fourth quarter in the open court where he was fouled and was still able to throw it down.

Jason Richardson led the scoring load for the Bobcats. Gerrald Wallace scored 13.
