Superstar Lebron James of the National Basketball Association's Cleveland Cavaliers made good on his word to bounce back and do better, as he led his team to a 26-point win against the Washington Wizards (113-97).

Throughout the many years that James has been playing, one thing is as clear as crystal; it is the fact that he is still evolving, growing, and improving as a player.

Previously, when he would get a turnover, he would just stay in the backcourt and watch the ball go down the lane for some easy points.

Now though, when he had a turnover, he hustled down the floor to make up for his mistake.

Apart from his defensive resurrection, James was also the leading scorer for his team with 29 points. He also had 10 rebounds, 8 assists, and 3 steals.

The other members of the Cavaliers' big three also contributed to the win, with Kevin Love getting 21 points and Kyrie Irving with 18 of his own.

The win came only five days after their embarrassing loss in Washington (91-78). From the beginning of the game until the end and got back to .500.

"We played basketball the right way," James said. "We shared the ball. We defended. We sustained effort for as close to 48 minutes as possible. I'm very happy and pleased with the way we've played the past two games."

With 7:52 left on the clock and a healthy 19-point lead in the bank, James took the bench and started off his thanksgiving holiday early.

In an interview after the game, James said that he was planning on breaking his diet with some much deserved Turkey and all the trimmings.

He said that he has to treat himself sometimes.

While dinner is not scheduled around watching his beloved Dallas Cowboys take on the Philadelphia Eagles, his kids being away from him is as he will need peace and quiet to enjoy the game.
