The Cleveland Cavaliers are short-handed as they have no LeBron James. What real though is no one is going to feel sorry for you during the long and drawn-out 82-game trek in the Logo. The Houston Rockets coming off a a loss on Monday night to the Bulls needed to get back into the winner's circle...and did!

The Rockets up 49-48 at the break going nip and tuck with " Believeland" Hoops was dealing with Cavs All-Star Point God Kyrie Irving. Irving had 24 points at the break showing why he might be the #1 lead guard in the Logo...and that's being real!

The Cavs also led after three 74-73 with Kyrie with 34 points. The Rockets using "We Ball" Mode instead of  "Me Ball" Mode was led by Harden's 16 at the end of the 3rd. Red Nation though would, shut down Kyrie in the final frame as he would end up with a game-high 38 points.

Houston would use a Corey Brewer 8 point run (including two Money Balls) with the score 82-79 Rockets to put an end to the Cavs night. That 32-19 run in totality in the 4th for Red Nation moved them to 24-11. Harden led with 21 points, seven boards and nine helpers. Dwight Howard would go 17 points and nineteen boards with J-Smoove adding 16 and "Brew Crew" Brewer a dozen.

The Cavs falling to 19-17 would get 17 points and sixteen boards from Kevin Love and 11 and six boards from Tristan Thompson. They were -13 on the glass but the rest of the numbers were about the same as Red Nation's across the board.
