    The Cavaliers are the NBA's hottest team. The Cavs (9-2) will

    carry an eight-game winning streak into The Palace of Auburn Hills on

    Wednesday against the Pistons. It matches the Cavs' longest streak

    since March 3-17, 2007.

    It will be a battle for first place in the Central Division.

    LeBron James said Wednesday night's game at Detroit will be a good

    early test for the Cavs.

    "We always believe we're going to see those guys later in the

    season," he said. "We want to continue this momentum and wave that we

    have.

    "We're not going to go 80-2. There are times we're going to play

    well and you might lose."
