After National Basketball Association (NBA) Superstar Lebron James had a string of poor performances, he wanted to give the Cleveland Cavaliers fan a treat in the form of a triple-double that led his team to a win against the New Orleans Pelicans (118-111).

The game, played at the Quicken Loans Arena, was the first time James and the team came home since Cleveland welcomed James back into their fold, four years after his championship runs in Miami.

That first game was a disaster for James, when the Cavaliers played against the New York Knicks. James only made 5 of 15, while also committing eight turnovers in a losing effort. This was what made James want to give something back to the Cavaliers fans.

After four games on the road, James would not allow a repeat performance that echoed the one against the Knicks. He went on Twitter and told his fans, "I owe y'all one."

James contributed an astounding 32 points, 12 rebounds, and 10 assists in what was a stellar performance that led his team to the victory.

Kyrie Irving scored 27 points out of his total 32 in the second half alone.

The third member of the Cavaliers' big three also made his presence felt when Kevin Love made six 3-point shots and added 22 points for the Cavaliers.

Most of the action coming from the big three came in the second half, as James and Irving combined for 49 points.

Thirty of those points came in the third quarter alone when the Cavaliers overcame a 9-point deficit. Four of Love's 3-point shots were also done after halftime.

The Pelicans' Antony Davis scored 27 points and had 14 rebounds. This Pelicans team defeated the NBA Champions, the San Antonio Spurs, last Saturday night.

However, it just wasn't enough for the red hot Cavaliers who were hungry for the win.
