Cavs rebound to hammer the Suns

Kyrie Irving scored 26 points and NBA All-Star teammate LeBron James had 21 points and 15 assists as Cleveland bounced back with a 118-103 win over Phoenix.

The Cavs, back on their home court following a six-game road trip that concluded with an embarrassing 35-point loss at Golden State, improved to 30-11 - the same record Cleveland had at the halfway point of its 2016 NBA championship season.

Channing Frye scored 18, Iman Shumpert 17 and James Jones 14 while filling in for star forward Kevin Love, still bothered by back spasms.
