The Cavaliers went back on the road Wednesday night but, when the NBA's top team (47-14 Cleveland) plays the league's worst team (6-53 New Jersey), home court advantage isn't that big a deal.

For the second straight game, Cleveland never let their opponent in the game.  The Cavaliers led 35-15 after the first quarter and New Jersey never got closer than 11 down the rest of the way as LeBron continued to score at will (leading all scorers, with 26 points) while making sure to get his teammates involved as well (with 14 assists).  

The stifling Cavalier defense held the Nets shooters to under 40% from the floor, while their own ability to drive the lanes and knock down shots from all angles (shooting over 51%) doomed hapless New Jersey to yet another loss as the Cavaliers coasted their way to a fifth straight victory - with four of those five victories by double digit margins.

Brook Lopez continues to be the lone bright spot for the Nets this season, turning in a double double with 21 points and 14 rebounds.  Yi Jianlian turned one in as well, with 14 points and 10 boards.  Devin Harris scored 11 and Chris Douglas-Roberts added 10.  With the outcome determined early, Terrence Williams responded to the increased minutes, coming off the bench with a career-high 21 points.

LeBron James turned in yet another double double, with 26 points and 14 assists (1 shy of his career high) and got plenty of help from his teammates.  J.J. Hickson got his second straight start for the injured Shaquille O'Neal and responded with a double double of his own: 20 points and 13 rebounds.  Antawn Jamison appears to be comfortable with the Cleveland offense now, adding 19 points and Mo Williams added another 16.  Anderson Varejao came off the bench with 12 points.  Daniel "Boobie" Gibson did not play, as he was at home for the birth of his son.
