The Cavaliers played excellent defense as they held the Nets to 36% from the floor last night and that was a huge reason for their win. In fact, the big three of the Nets, Jason Kidd, Vince Carter and Richard Jefferson shot a combined 11 for 48 from the floor. LeBron James led the way for the Cavs with 30 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists. Larry Hughes was also busy with 19 points, 2 steals and 2 blocks. Zydrunas Ilgauskas (13 points, 11 rebounds) and Drew Gooden (8 points, 10 rebounds) both played tough in the paint. Sasha Pavlovic played a good defensive game but he only wound up with 9 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists. The Cavs are now up 3-1 in this series.
