New Jersey Nets 83, Cleveland Cavaliers 72
The Cavaliers had an awful night as they only hit 33.3% of their shots from the floor and that’s why they couldn’t close out the Nets last night. LeBron James was only 5 of 14 from the floor and he wound up with 20 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists. Zydrunas Ilgauskas had a good game with 16 points and 6 rebounds, but for some reason Coach Mike Brown didn’t play the big guy much in the 2nd half and that was down right stupid as no one on the Nets can stop Z inside. Sasha Pavlovic was a little off last night with 8 points and 3 rebounds. Larry Hughes had a horrible shooting night but he wasn’t shy as he was 3 for 17 from the floor last night. He finished up with 7 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists. Drew Gooden also had a bad night (2 for 7) with 4 points and 8 rebounds. Daniel Gibson injected the team with energy in his 17 minutes on the court as he scored 8 points. The Cavs are still up 3-2 in this series as it shifts to New Jersey starting tomorrow night.
