Progress was made as LeBron managed to avoid a sophomore jinx at the start of his second season. The Cavs went 12-8 in their first 20, putting together a six-game winning streak after losing three to start the campaign. There were two three-game winning streaks mixed in later to get the team to a dozen victories. In the 11th game of the season, LeBron scorched Detroit for 43 points, 10 assists and 9 rebounds in a 16-point victory.
