Cavaliers-Nets Preview

It hasn't taken long for Mo Williams to adjust to a bigger scoring role for the Cleveland Cavaliers, which isn't good news for the New Jersey Nets.

In the first game of a home-and-home series between the teams, the Cavaliers will try for their ninth straight win over the slumping Nets on Tuesday night at the Prudential Center.

Williams was expected to take on a heavier scoring load for Cleveland (3-3) in the wake of LeBron James' departure. An All-Star in 2009, Williams was second on the Cavs behind James last season with 15.8 points and 5.3 assists per game.

He missed the team's first three games with a groin injury and then came off the bench in a loss to Atlanta last Tuesday. However, Williams has provided a key boost since returning to the starting lineup, scoring 50 points to go along with 10 assists, seven rebounds and five steals in Cleveland's last two games - both road wins.

Williams shot 10 of 19 from the field in a 107-102 victory at Washington on Saturday, scoring 10 of his 28 points in the final four minutes of a back-and-forth game. Daniel Gibson, who averaged 6.3 points last season, added 19 to improve his season average to 15.0 points and give him 39 in the last two games.

"You have two guys that can spread the floor, both guys can beat you off the dribble and both guys are very unselfish," coach Byron Scott said of Williams and Gibson. "They look for their teammates and they're both able to make big plays and big shots. It's a luxury for me to be able to have those guys on the floor at the same time, especially in crunch time."

Scott's club will go for its third straight win Tuesday, and it may have forward Antawn Jamison back after he missed the last three games with a sore left knee.

Despite no longer having James, the Cavaliers will try to continue their domination of the Nets in the first of back-to-back games between the teams. They'll meet again Wednesday night at Quicken Loans Arena. Cleveland has won eight straight in the series, including four consecutive wins on the road.

The Nets (2-4) are also trying to avoid a fifth straight loss overall. After a promising start, New Jersey's offense has struggled in four consecutive defeats, averaging 85.0 points while shooting 40.4 percent. In their two victories, the Nets averaged 103.5 points on 50.4 percent shooting.

In their 101-89 loss to Miami on Saturday, the Nets trailed by four points at the half, but were outscored 32-17 in the third quarter. The night before against Orlando, they were outscored 32-16 coming out of the break en route to a 105-90 defeat.

"We've got to play better defense, take better care of the basketball and have better third quarters," coach Avery Johnson said.

Against the Heat, Anthony Morrow scored 25 points and Brook Lopez added 12, but Lopez missed 10 of his last 12 shots. Lopez is leading the Nets in scoring with 18.8 points per game, but he's averaging 13.0 over the last three games while shooting 28.0 percent. He's also still looking for his first double-double after recording 33 last season.

Late 3s by Jamison and Parker lead Cavs over Nets

NEWARK, N.J.(AP) The Cleveland Cavaliers have found a new scoring threat in the post-LeBron James era: the bench.

Antawn Jamison and Anthony Parker hit late 3-pointers and Cleveland's reserves poured in 52 points in leading the Cavaliers to their third straight win, 93-91 over the reeling New Jersey Nets on Tuesday night.

"I said all along that our bench could be one of our strong points and our guard play could be one of our strong points," Cavaliers coach Byron Scott said. "That was the case tonight."

J.J. Hickson led the Cavaliers' balanced attack with 18 points. Ramon Sessions and Jamison each added 15 points and Daniel Gibson had 14 as Cleveland beat the Nets for the ninth straight time.

Travis Outlaw scored a season-high 27 points for the Nets, who have lost five in a row after opening the season with two wins. Devin Harris added 18 and Brook Lopez had 16 for New Jersey, which got 15 points from its bench.

"I think the bench guys did a great job of setting the tone, but the most important thing was that we won the game," said Jamison, who played almost 28 minutes after missing the last three games with a sore left knee. "We have a great group of guys who go out and play. I'm glad to be a part of it. I don't know if this is my role for good. It's early on and tough to say. But if it works, we'll stick with it."

Cleveland made five of its nine 3-pointers in the fourth quarter, with none being bigger than the ones by Jamison and Parker in the final 2:28.

The Cavaliers, who will play the Nets in Cleveland on Wednesday, were clinging to an 83-82 lead after Harris hit a jumper with 2:51 to play.

Jamison took a pass from Sessions and pumped in a 3-pointer from the right wing with 2:28 to go to push the lead to 86-82.

After Anthony Morrow missed a 3-pointer, Lopez blocked a drive to the basket by Gibson. There was a loose ball under the basket and it eventually made its way out to Parker at the top of the key. With the shot clock just about to sound, he launched a high-arcing 3-pointer that touched nothing but net and took the air out of New Jersey with 1:29 to go.

"That was probably the biggest shot and probably the most unexpected," Scott said. "He hoisted it up and there was rain coming down with it."

New Jersey inched its way back into the game over the final 89 seconds, but the final margin was close only because Outlaw hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer.

"We were fighting," Outlaw said. "That's the most important thing. We have to continue to fight. We have to continue to keep our head up and keep pushing."

Sessions and Gibson were the catalysts for the Cavaliers. Gibson had eight points and Sessions had seven and four of his five assists.

His first two assists came on 3-pointers by Gibson and started a run of three 3s. Jawad Williams got the third one for a 73-71 lead and Sessions then drove the lane for a layup. Hickson added two free throws to put Cleveland ahead 77-71.

"The last few games, the bench has tried to get up and down the floor and change the pace of the game," Sessions said. "Then if we get the lead, we keep it. There was tremendous spacing on the floor. Most of the floor was open and I went after it."

New Jersey got within a point twice the rest of the way. A drive by Harris cut the lead to 81-80 but Sessions hit a short jumper and then Jamison made the first of the big 3s to put away the game.

"We had a few defensive breakdowns, gave up some open 3s and they made us pay for it," Harris said.

Notes: Cavaliers leading scorer Mo Williams (20.7 points) missed his first nine shots and finished with two points on 1-of-12 shooting. ... Cleveland was 12 of 22 from the free throw line. ... Nets swingman Terrence Williams missed the game with a lower abdominal strain. ... Gibson missed the Cavs' practice on Monday for family reasons and didn't get to Newark until Tuesday morning. ... Nets veteran Troy Murphy had a game-high 11 rebounds.

Cavs-Nets notebook

By Jake Appleman, for NBA.com
Posted Tuesday November 9, 2010 10:44PM

THE FACTS: The Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the New Jersey Nets 93-91, handing the Nets their fifth consecutive loss. J.J. Hickson (18 points and 10 rebounds) and Antawn Jamison (15 points, eight rebounds) led the Cavaliers, whose bench outscored their starters 52-31. The Nets got 17 points from their bench.

QUOTABLE: "He helps us in so many ways on both ends of the floor because he's one of our best communicators on the defensive end. He was excellent tonight."

-- Cavs coach Byron Scott on Jamison's performance. Jamison hadn't played since Oct. 30 against the Sacramento Kings.

THE STAT: Anthony Morrow scored seven points in the first 2:08 of the first quarter on a 3-pointer and a four-point play. He didn't score again until the last minute of the fourth quarter.

TURNING POINT: Anthony Parker hit a rainbow 3-pointer to put the Cavaliers up 89-82 with 1:29 remaining in the fourth quarter

QUOTABLE II: "You know, that's the good thing about those situations. You don't really have time to think. I caught it. I looked at the clock. I saw two seconds, and I heard 'Tawn -- he had just passed to me. He said 'shoot it'...I had Outlaw on me, a long defender. I just wanted to give it a chance. When it left my hand, it felt good. I just stayed with it. And fortunately it went it."

-- Anthony Parker, on his rainbow 3-pointer

HOT: Daniel Gibson (15 points, 6-for-10 from the field, 4-for-5 on 3-pointers) hit big shots when the Cavaliers needed them.

NOT: Mo Williams didn't have an impressive stat line (two points, 1-for-12 from the field, -10).

FANTASY SPOTLIGHT: Travis Outlaw put up good numbers (27 points, 11-for-22 from the floor, seven rebounds, one block) for the Nets.

INSIDE THE ARENA: The West Point Glee Club sang the National Anthem to honor "Military Appreciation Night"...The Nets Dancers performed in military garb to the White Stripes song "Seven Nation Army" during a break between the first and second quarter...Radio personality Paul "Cubby" Bryant sat courtside...Treach from the seminal Hip Hop group Naughty by Nature appeared on the Jumbotron in an attempt to motivate the crowd.

ROOKIE WATCH: Derrick Favors rebounded, quite literally, from a sluggish first half to finish with six points, seven boards and one block.

NOTABLE: The cross matchup between the Nets' starting small forward (Travis Outlaw) and the Cavaliers' power forward (J.J. Hickson) featured two players that both wear #21...Jamison came off the bench and hit his first three shots from the floor...Parker was originally drafted by the Nets before being dealt to the Philadelphia 76ers in a draft day swap that involved Keith Van Horn and Tim Thomas...The game featured only 20 turnovers combined between the two teams...Every player that started for the Cavaliers finished with a negative plus-minus rating. All of the bench players, except Ryan Hollins (five fouls in under nine minutes of action) finished at least +12

UP NEXT: For the Cavaliers, Wednesday vs. New Jersey, Saturday vs. Indiana, Tuesday vs. Philadelphia. For the Nets, Wednesday @ Cleveland, Saturday vs. Orlando, Monday @ LA Clippers.
