The Los Angeles Lakers were able to dominate in the second half Monday night at the Staples Center and defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 105-88. Los Angeles shot 52.4% (44-84) from the floor for the game while holding Cleveland to just 43% (34-79) for the night. Cleveland All-Star LeBron James was the game's leading scorer with 23 points, but the team from the "City Of Angels" had more depth, as Pau Gasol and Kobe Bryant each recorded double-doubles. The loss cost the Cavaliers the best record in the Association, which is now held by NBA Southeast Division leaders the Orlando Magic who are at 33-8.
