(Agencies)
Updated: 2008-12-11 15:44 PHILADELPHIA -- LeBron James scored 29 points and Mo Williams added a season-high 27 as the Cleveland Cavaliers cruised to their 10th consecutive victory, beating the Philadelphia 76ers 101-93 on Wednesday.
Anderson Varejao added 15 points, and Ben Wallace had 10 rebounds for the Central Division-leading Cavaliers, who improved to 19-3 and 7-3 on the road. They are one win shy of tying the franchise record of 11 straight wins set during the 1988-89 season. Andre Iguodala scored a season-high 27 points for the 76ers. Knicks 121, Nets 109= At East Rutherford, New Jersey, Al Harrington scored a season-high 39 points, fellow New Jersey high school star Tim Thomas also had his best game of the season as New York rallied to beat the Nets. Harrington was a point short of his career high, while Thomas scored a season-high 26. Acquired in separate deals on the same day last month, Harrington and Thomas were too athletic for the Nets' forwards, helping New York storm back from a poor start. Wilson Chandler added 24 points for the Knicks, who rebounded from a 105-100 loss in Chicago on Tuesday night and won for just the second time in six games. Devin Harris scored 32 points for the Nets. Raptors 101, Pacers 88= At Toronto, Jason Kapono scored a season-high 25 points, Chris Bosh added 21 points and 10 rebounds and Toronto beat Indiana to snap a five-game losing streak and give interim coach Jay Triano his first win since he took over for the fired Sam Mitchellto. Jamario Moon also had a season high with 17 points for Toronto. Danny Granger led Indiana with 22 points, and Troy Murphy had 20 points and 20 rebounds. The Pacers have lost four straight and nine of 11. Grizzlies 108, Thunder 102= At Oklahoma City, Rudy Gay had 22 points, and backup point guard Mike Conley scored 14 of his 16 points in fourth quarter to help Memphis beat Oklahoma City and win a consecutive game for the first time this season. O.J. Mayo added 18 points to pass Magic Johnson for the third longest streak of double-figure games to start a career at 22. Only Dan Issel (27) and Bobby Jones (24) had longer streaks. Kevin Durant had 28 points for Oklahoma City, an NBA-worst 2-22. Hornets 105, Bobcats 89= At New Orleans, Chris Paul had 15 points and 15 assists, and David West and Peja Stojakovic each scored 17 points in New Orleans' seventh win in eight games. Rookie D.J. Augustin scored a career-high 28 points to lead Charlotte. The Bobcats took the floor with a depleted lineup shortly after a multiplayer trade that sent leading scorer Jason Richardson to Phoenix. Spurs 95, Hawks 89= At San Antonio, Manu Ginobili scored 27 points in a return to his sixth-man role to help San Antonio extend its winning streak to four games. Tim Duncan, playing in his 1,000th NBA game in the regular season and playoffs, added 19 points and 11 rebounds. Joe Johnson led Atlanta with 29 points. |
