Basketball Betting Lines
03/28/2010 -
Cleveland, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - LeBron James scored 23 of his game-high 34
points in the second half, as the Cleveland Cavaliers held off the Sacramento Kings, 97-90.
James also dished out eight assists and grabbed seven rebounds for the
Cavaliers, who had an eight-game winning streak snapped at San Antonio on
Friday. Cleveland improved to 58-16 on the season and sits atop the East, 6
1/2 games ahead of the Magic, who play later Sunday versus Denver.
Antawn Jamison donated 26 points and nine rebounds, while J.J. Hickson and
Anthony Parker each chipped in 10 points for the victors.
Andres Nocioni finished with 21 points off the bench for the Kings, who have
dropped four in a row. Beno Udrih recorded his first career triple-double
with 18 points, 15 assists, and 10 rebounds. Carl Landry ended with 17
points, while Jason Thompson added 16 points and 14 boards in defeat.
The Kings were without centers Spencer Hawes (lower back strain) and Sean May
(bruised knee) and forward Francisco Garcia (sore wrist). Rookie guard Tyreke
Evans missed his fifth straight game with a concussion.
Ahead 85-84 with under eight minutes left in the game, Cleveland went on a 9-2
flurry to create some breathing room. James scored the first four points and
Jamison the final five of the burst to make it 94-86 with 3 1/2 minutes
remaining.
Thompson made a pair of free throws before Udrih's mid-range jumper cut the
gap to four, 94-90, with 2 1/2 minutes to go. Udrih's deuce ended Sacramento's
six-minute drought from the field.
James' three-pointer with two minutes remaining gave Cleveland a seven-point
margin. James went on two miss two shots from beyond the arc in the final
minutes, but the Kings turned the ball over multiple times and missed two
shots as neither club scored the rest of the contest.
Ahead by five, 22-17, late in the first quarter, the Cavaliers ripped off six
straight points to build a 28-17 margin. Zydrunas Ilgauskas' layup had
Cleveland in front 30-21 after 12 minutes.
The Kings chipped away at the deficit in the latter stages of the second.
Udrih's two free throws and Landry's jumper had Sacramento within two,
50-48, with two minutes remaining. The visitors trailed 58-52 at the break.
Sacramento started the third on a 10-2 spurt to take the lead. Nocioni made a
trey to start the burst, which Udrih ended with a jumper to make it 62-60
three minutes in.
However, the Cavs quickly charged back in front and led for the rest of the
frame. The score was 78-76 heading to the fourth.
