Cleveland Cavaliers superstar LeBron James is feeling elated to the new found focus and chemistry of his team. The four-time Most Valuable Player (MVP) pointed out to a key sequence in the third period wherein his team displayed the connection and groove that has brought them to a four-game winning streak, the latest a dominant win over the visiting Utah Jazz, 106-92.

The highlight play came in the latter part of the third quarter when new starting shooting guard J.R. Smith disrupted an alley-oop pass by tapping the ball back to Tristan Thompson who gave up the ball to Kyrie Irving to start the attack. Irving nearly lost his balance but was able to feed forward Kevin Love who capped off the magnificent play with a dunk.

''Best play of the night,'' James described the action-packed sequence to Yahoo Sports. ''J.R. tapped it back to Kyrie and Kyrie was stumbling, rumbling and bumbling and threw it up to Kev. The best sequence of the night. I think the fans was craving a moment like that and we play for our fans.''

The two-time NBA champion was not involved in the said play but he placed his stamp on the game the whole night. Despite being down with the flu the night before and being excused for team practice, James gave his usual all-around performance of 26 points, 7 rebounds, 9 assists and 4 steals. He made his own highlight play of the night when he threw down a vicious dunk in Gordon Hayward’s territory. James exacted some revenge from the jazz forward who hit the game-winner the last time the two teams met at Salt Lake City.

The Jazz got solid contributions from center Enes Kanter who posted monster numbers of 24 points and 17 rebounds but got minimal contributions from the rest of the key players such as Trey Burke (2 points, 1-of-10 shooting), Hayward (14 points, 4-of-11 shooting, 5 turnovers) and Derrick Favors (12 points, 1 rebound). The team will continue with its Eastern Conference trip with a trip to Milwaukee Thursday while the cavaliers will look to extend their four-game winning streak when the Charlotte Hornets come to town Friday.
