LeBron James shook off a sluggish start to the preseason to score 26 points in 24 minutes in the Cavs’ 98-93 preseason win against the Indiana Pacers on the campus of Xavier University.
Kevin Love was banged around for the second consecutive night and did not play in the second half.
David West, who played for Xavier and received loud ovations throughout the night, scored 15 points for a new-look Pacers team that is no longer one of the East’s elite.
