Cleveland (32-23) at Detroit (45-9) 12:00 pm EST

AUBURN HILLS, Michigan (Ticker) -- LeBron James hopes to shake off a shaky second-half performance as he leads the Cleveland Cavaliers into the front end of a home-and home series against the Detroit Pistons on Sunday.

James was booed for the first time by the home fans on Friday after he missed all eight second-half shots in a 102-94 loss against Washington. He was also just 8-of-19 from the foul line.

It was a stark contrast to James' first half, when he recorded 25 points, seven assists and seven rebounds.

Zydrunas Ilgauskas collected 25 points, nine rebounds and five blocks for Cleveland, which has lost two in a row following a three-game winning streak.

Detroit, which is playing its third game in four days, is coming off a 95-87 victory at Chicago on Friday. Chauncey Billups led six Pistons in double figures with 17 points.

Billups' backcourt mate and fellow All-Star Richard Hamilton scored 14 points but was ejected after picking up his second technical foul.

The Cavaliers are just one of eight teams to record a victory over the Pistons this season. Cleveland posted a 97-84 triumph over Detroit on December 31, its fifth win in its last eight meetings with the defending Eastern Conference champions.

The teams meet again Monday night in Cleveland.
