The All-Star forward was named the NBA's Eastern Conference Player of the Week on Monday. In four games last week, James led the Cavs to a 4-0 record and averaged a league-high 32.8 points, 8.5 rebounds and 7.8 assists. He also shot 51.5 percent from the field. It was the 10th Player of the Week award for James, who is just 21 points shy of reaching 8,000 in his career. He has won the award twice this season (Nov. 13-19) and did so five times in 2005-06 and on three occasions during the 2004-05 campaign. His most impressive display of the week was his 41-point effort against Detroit last Wednesday in the Cavs' 101-97 overtime win. James has spurred the Cavs' five-game winning streak heading into a game against Sacramento at 7 tonight at Quicken Loans Arena. "We keep getting better," James said. "Offensively, we're definitely getting much better. Everyone right now is playing the right type of basketball." James had 26 points, seven rebounds and six assists in Sunday's 99-88 win over the Indiana Pacers. It snapped a string of 10 consecutive games with 29 points or more - the second longest of his career. He's averaging 33.3 points, 5.9 rebounds and 5.8 assists in his last 11 games. Coach Mike Brown said the Cavs' offense has shown improvement as of late. During the winning streak, they have averaged 101 points and have shot 46.8 percent from the field. "We're getting more consistent on offense," Brown said. "We're not going through stretches where we jack up the ball." The Cavs (38-25) took care of business against the hapless Pacers. "There are a lot of things going on with that franchise," James said. "But we can't have sympathy. No one will have sympathy for us." The Cavs jumped out to a 31-18 lead after the first quarter. "We wanted to set the tone," Cavs forward Drew Gooden said. "We came out and attacked them. "We can't be satisfied with our play right now. If we're satisfied, our progressions will cease. We've seen some easy games slip away, games we should have won."</div> Source
