Preview: Cleveland vs. Houston

The Cavaliers are coming off an impressive victory against the two-time defending champion, Los Angeles Lakers.

Tonight the Cavaliers will look to continue their momentum and start the second half off with a winning streak against the Houston Rockets.

This will be the second and final meeting of the season for the two teams.

For the Rockets, they have climbed their way back into the race for a playoff spot in the Western Conference and will conitue their mini three-game road trip against teams below .500. The Rockets will play Cleveland, and return home against the Nets while winning against Detriot on tuesday.

The Cavaliers (10-46) went down to Houston in December and lost 110-95 watching Kevin Martin score 40 on them. That game was early in the soon to be recongized streak of losing 36 of 37 games and 26 games in a row.

Antawn Jamison scored 24 points and had five rebounds and two assists in that game. Also, Mo Willams at the time scored 18 points and had a team-high nin assists in the game.

The Cavaliers are coming off a 2-1 weekend and a Los Angeles sweep. Which by the way, feels great to say. Cleveland played their best game against the Lakers and so did Ramon Sessions.

Sessions, who has been filling the role for injured Mo Willams, put on a show against the Lakers. He scored a game high and season high, 32 points coming off the bench.

He has been averaging 19.6 points, 8.9 assists and 2.0 steals in February. He is also shooting a blistering 58 percent from the field as well.

The last time a Cavalier scored 30 or more points off the bench was Larry Hughes. He scored 36 points on ironically the same date as Sessions did. December 11th, 2007.

The key will be to keep Martin under control. He has hurt the Cavaliers in the past by scoring the ball. Martin has scored at least 30 points in his last four games against Cleveland.

Tip-off is at 7:00pm at Quicken Loans Arena.
