James, Cleveland Cavaliers take care of Miami Heat

LeBron James chased a triple-double against his old team, leading the Cleveland Cavaliers to a 113-93 win over the Miami Heat on Wednesday night.

James finished with 18 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists and the Cavaliers cruised to their 14th win in 15 games despite playing without Kevin Love for most of the second half.

Love left after being poked in the right eye by Heat guard Mario Chalmers early in the third quarter.

Timofey Mozgov picked up some of the slack, scoring 14 of his season-high 20 points in the second half. Tristan Thompson added 17 points and nine rebounds, Kyrie Irving had 15 points and six assists and Iman Shumpert scored 13.

Chalmers scored 18 to lead the Heat, who head into the All-Star break with a 22-30 record. They are 2-5 since Dwyane Wade went down with a strained hamstring.
