The Cleveland Cavaliers leave the cozy confines of Quicken Loans Arena Saturday and travel to Charlotte to face the Bobcats.
The Cavs improved to 11-0 in Cleveland on Friday when Mo Williams, Zydrunas Ilgauskas and Anderson Varejao each scored 17 points as the Cavaliers routed the Indiana Pacers, 97-73, extending their winning streak to seven games.

The Cavs, who routed Charlotte 96-79 in Cleveland on October 30, are 13-3 all- time against the Bobcats but only 5-3 in Charlotte.
The Bobcats, meanwhile, are 6-7 at Time Warner Cable Arena this season.
