Cavaliers start 6-0 as James leads balanced attack
LeBron James powered the Cavaliers to a 6-0 start in 2016-17, a first for his career, as Cleveland built a high pace offense with Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love averaging over 20 points. Coach Tyronn Lue urged improved defense while James noted the election day context and the need for leadership beyond basketball. Cleveland had won 11 straight against the Hawks dating to 2015, including eight playoff wins, and had set a playoff series record with 77 three-pointers in the 2016 semis.
