In order to get the Cavs over a patchy run of form early on in the season, LeBron had to turn on the sort of gears that we generally only see from him come playoff time. He singlehandedly annihilated the Washington Wizards' interior defense with his relentless rim-running drives, and he made sure that most of them paid off handily for the Cavs in a much-needed 130-122 win.
