Cavs Win Sixth Straight!

Lebron James didn't have to do by himself this time, as he got plenty of help from his friends. Speaking of friends, this 110-99 win for the Cavaliers was against long time friend and rival Carmelo Anthony of the Denver Nuggets.  Both teams were extremely sluggish in the first half, as defense was an after thought. The Nuggets led 61-58 after a half and Cavs coach Mike Brown only had one choice. At the half the Cavaliers coach had to pop in some game film of the first half and tell his team how displeased he was.  The Cavaliers responded in the second half allowing only 38 points to the high powered Nuggets offense including just 18 in the fourth quarter.  

   Maurice Williams led six Cavs in double figures with 24 points, Lebron nearly posted his first triple double of the season with 22 points, 11 assists and 8 rebounds.  Daniel "Boobie" Gibson (15 points), Ben Wallace (11), and Zydrunas Ilgauskas as well as wally Sczerbiak added 10 a piece for a Cavs team that shot 57 percent for the game.  Cleveland also had 30 assists as a team and only turned the ball over 9 times.  

   The Nuggets were led by Chauncey Billups who scored 16 of his 26 points in the first quarter. Carmelo Anthony, Kenyon Martin and J.R. Smith also scored in double figures for the Nuggets. It was the first time the Nuggets had lost to the Cavs in six meetings going all the way back to the 2005 season.  The Cavaliers will face the Utah Jazz Saturday night at the Q, tip time is set for 7 PM.
