Cavs Prove They Can Win Without LeBron James

Filed under: Cavaliers, Spurs

CLEVELAND -- Yes, the Cleveland Cavaliers can win without LeBron James.



They proved it Monday night, becoming the first team in the league to crack 50 wins with a two-point victory over the San Antonio Spurs, a game that was far more exciting than a game without James, Shaquille O'Neal and Tony Parker probably ought to be.



The Cavs' record in their last 10 without LeBron? One-and-nine. This win was their first without him in three years and it came over a team that is the seventh-best in the West.



The Cavs will take it happily. Take the reigning MVP out of any lineup and see what happens.



Monday night this is what happened:



o. Manu Ginobili moved into San Antonio's starting lineup and had an unbelievable game, scoring 38 points and coming within a toe on the line in the final 14 seconds of tying the game.
