It's a Chamber of Commerce Day in Salt Lake City

It's a chamber of commerce day in Salt Lake City...not a cloud in the sky, clear view of the mountains, but for the guys, this is a day of staying off their feet, with this being a back to back...we arrived about 3:00 a.m. this morning...hit the pillow and out!

We mentioned last night on the broadcast about LeBron receiving a "liquid stitch" over his left eye. Athletic trainer, Max Benton says it's almost like super glue...closing the wound, without a true suture. The fact that LeBron had a straight east to west cut above the eye made it a clean repair. LBJ did keep ice on it for a while on the flight here.

I loved the way he came back and led his team, sometimes taking on Baron Davis at the defensive end of the floor...plus, his open floor blocks from behind are ones he is starting to make routine. It takes rare athleticism and timing to do it. Tayshaun Prince is spectacular at it...and now LeBron had done it three times this season already...the plays are breathtaking and momentum changing.

Mike Brown was beaming last night talking about his team's 30 assists on 41 buckets. It's what he has been preaching since day one of camp...spacing, ball movement.

The hockey assist--the pass that leads to the pass that sets up a score...it's either a drive and kick dish or a pass off a double team...something to watch for when you tune in tonight.

See you at 10:00 p.m. for Cavaliers Live from Utah.
