Washington (AFP) - LeBron James scored 25 points, grabbed nine rebounds and passed out nine assists to spark the Cleveland Cavaliers over Chicago 106-95, handing the Bulls their fifth consecutive loss.
Kyrie Irving added 19 points, while Tristan Thompson contributed 16 points and 10 rebounds and Kevin Love produced 15 points and 15 rebounds for the host Cavaliers (39-14).
Chicago beat Cleveland in two prior meetings this season, the first in the season opener and the other last month, just one day after Tyronn Lue replaced Dave Blatt as coach.
"In the first two games we didn't match their intensity and got beat," James said.
