12/11/2008 17:12
LeBron James matched a season high with 41 points lifting Cleveland
Cavaliers to their fifth straight victory downing the Bucks 99-93
yesterday.
Mo Williams scored 16 against his former team. James scored 12 in
the fourth quarter and didn't come out in the second half while playing a
season-best 43 minutes.
At Charlotte, North Carolina, Carmelo Anthony scored
18 of his 25 points in the second half, Chauncey Billups added a key three-point
play late, and Denver held off Charlotte 88-80 to stay unbeaten with Billups in
the lineup.
Jason Richardson scored 23 points to lead the sloppy
Bobcats.
At Philadelphia, Carlos Boozer had 19 points and 16 rebounds and
Deron Williams played for the first time this season to lead Utah past
Philadelphia 93-80.
Williams had seven points and nine assists after missing
the first six games because of a sprained left ankle he suffered in a preseason
game Oct. 18 against Chicago.
At Dallas, Trevor Ariza turned an offensive
rebound into an emphatic, go-ahead dunk early in the fourth quarter, sending the
Los Angeles Lakers to a victory over Dallas 106-99.
At San Antonio, Tim
Duncan had 23 points, nine rebounds, and seven assists to lead San Antonio over
New York 92-80 in the Spurs' first game without injured guard Tony
Parker.
Parker will miss about a month due to a moderate left ankle sprain.
The Spurs' other standout guard, Manu Ginobili, has not played this season and
isn't scheduled to be back from left ankle surgery until December.
At
Chicago, Al Horford scored a career-high 27 points and grabbed 17 rebounds as
Atlanta remained unbeaten through six games with a victory over Chicago
113-108.
Atlanta's start is its best since the 1997-98 Hawks won their first
11 games.
