Cleared to land & pattern entry

Kudos to the controller this afternoon who was handling (what I consider to be) a fair bit of traffic all over the place. Well done.
I got cleared to land at Bakersfield when I was about 8 miles South. I flew my 45 entry into the 30R, Right downwind pattern. Then I thought that since I was cleared to land, i didn't need to fly the pattern. Could I have flown straight in, once I was cleared to land?
