That state up north just can't catch up a break.  Michigan is the home of the Detriot Lions, the Pistons, and the Detroit Tigers.  That right there is enough to make any sports fan go crazy.  Then you take the fact that their last three games have been against the Hawks, the Celtics, and last night Cleveland.  A 3-game losing streak was all but guaranteed.

In a game where LeBron James only had 5 points in the 1st half, you'd think the Pistons might have a chance to pull the upset and end their skid.  You'd be wrong.  LeBron's 24 point 2nd half did the trick, and with trusty sidekick Mo Williams drilling 3's, the Cavs won their 4th straight. 

LeBron decided to turn it on in the 4th quarter, and led the Cavs to a come from behind victory over Detroit, who seems destined to be a mediocre team.  LeBron scores 12 points in the quarter, and adds 4 assists to shut the door on Detroit.  The King records his 4th triple-double of the season, throwing up 29 points, 12 assists, and 12 rebounds.
LeBron was quoted after the game, saying, "Getting a triple double is my favorite thing to do, other than winning of course."   

LeBron had a surprisingly slow start in this game, and his 2/6 shooting equated to 5 points in the first half, which for the King is not acceptable.  His teammates had his back though; Mo Williams was huge in this game.  Antawn Jamison finally brought his A-game, Jawad Williams was huge off the bench, and the physical play of Leon Powe was just what we needed in this game.  Jawad hit several clutch shots, and Leon was the muscle and hustle we needed.  Daniel Gibson came off the bench (finally) and made the only 3 point shot he took.  It was good to see Boobie back in the rotation, if only because Delonte was inactive.

Even though LeBron dissected the Pistons, this game was won by Mo Williams.  His three consecutive 3 pointers late in the 4th quarter were the definition of clutch, and gave the Cavaliers the momentum needed to finish off the Pistons in style.  The man hit 5 of 9 three pointers in the game.  In the words of Keyshawn Johnson, "just give him the damn ball." 

This victory did not come easy, and the final score wasn't representative of the battle that occured at the Palace of Auburn Hills last night.  Attending a game in Detroit where the Cavaliers won earlier this season, I can tell you that this is a tough arena to win a basketball game in.  The Pistons were unhappy with their performance vs. the Celtics the previous night, and gave the Cavaliers all they could handle in this one.  There were 10 lead changes in the game, and the score was tied 21 different times.  Even though the Cavaliers scored the final 9 points, this game came down to the last few minutes. 

The Cavs have surrounded LeBron this year with a plethora of knock down perimeter shooters, and when we get going, you best get out of our way.  If Mo isn't hitting big shots, (he usually is) then Anthony Parker or Delonte West picks up the slack.  Jamison is a crafty veteran, and although he hasn't played to his potential in a Cleveland uniform, we will need him for our run in the playoffs.

This win propels the Cavaliers to a 4-game win streak, and we should keep it going for the foreseeable future.  I don't see us losing the rest of the month, because our schedule isn't all that tough.  The next few games are as follows:  Indiana, Chicago, Detroit again, New Orleans, San Antonio, Sacramento, and then Milwaukee to finish out the month.  Starting with tonight, the Cavs should push the new streak to 5.  By the end of the month, we should be at 11 straight.  None of these teams can compete with the Cavaliers on any given night.  LeBron wants to finish the season strong, because we need to be hot going into the playoffs.  The best player in the game should win the NBA finals, as well as the MVP.  LeBron knows this team has a great chance to get it done this year.  LeBron James is underrated
