  The Cavs (9-3) saw there 8 game streak snapped. Lebron James scored 25 points but was just 8 of 21 from the floor. Mo Williams added 25 as well.  Zydrunas Ilgauskas and Delonte West each scored in double numbers for the "wine and gold" with 13 and 11 points respectively.  The Cavs shot 43 percent and hit 8 of 22 threes.  The Cavs will be back in action in Saturday in Atlanta against the Hawks.
