NBA: Cleveland 113, Utah 102

SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 10 (UPI) -- Kyrie Irving led the way with 25 points Friday, helping carry Cleveland to just its third road win of the season -- 113-102 over Utah.

The three road victories are tied for the NBA low this season, but this one was a solid triumph and came in the Cleveland debut of Luol Deng, who was traded from Chicago this week for Andrew Bynum and multiple draft picks.
