The other best start of his career. The Cavaliers lost two of their first three this season and then went on an eight-game tear. A seven-point loss to Detroit was then followed by another eight-game roll as they improved to 17-3, by far the best 20-game start in LeBron’s Cavaliers career. At one point in the first surge, James went for 41 points apiece in three of four games.
