Mo Williams scored 28 points to go along with six rebounds, seven assists and three 3-pointers, and LeBron James added 26 points and nine assists as the Cavaliers easily beat the Lakers in L.A. on Christmas Day.
Kobe Bryant paced the Lakers with 35 points and a near triple-double, but needed 32 shots to do so, as the Cavs frustrated L.A. all day and controlled this game from nearly the beginning. Tempers flared on the court, as Lamar Odom was ejected with two technical fouls, while Williams, LeBron, Kobe and Derek Fisher all jawwed with each other, leading to angry fans littering the floor with foam fingers. If this wasn't a rivalry coming in, it is now.
