CLEVELAND — Kyrie Irving scored 20 points and fellow rookie Tristan Thompson added 16, leading the Cleveland Cavaliers to a 115-101 win over the Charlotte Bobcats on Tuesday night.

Cleveland continued its strong 3-point shooting, making 10 of 21 from behind the arc. The Cavaliers made 16 of 26 attempts from 3-point range Sunday, falling one short of the team record in a 98-82 home win over New Jersey. Back-to-back threes by Daniel Gibson gave the Cavaliers a 103-86 lead midway through the fourth quarter.

Antawn Jamison added 19 points for Cleveland.
