LeBron and Cavs fall in Seattle

The Cavs were slowed down by the Seattle SuperSonics zone defense on Tuesday night.  Seattle’s zone defense that coach Bob Hill says “he does not like to use, but will have to due to their small interior play”, stifled the Cavs, as the SuperSonics won the ball game 101-96.

The Cavs were led in scoring by Mr. LeBron James, who had 30, including 13 of 15 from the free throw line. LeBron was unable to get going in the fourth quarter as he missed all four of his shot attempts.

LeBron’s teammate Zydrunas Ilgauskas added 24 points, on 10-18 shooting, while pulling down 11 rebounds for the Cavs.

The Cavs will now face the Blazers tonight(Wednesday) in Portland, before traveling to Denver and Golden State before finally coming home to greet the Magic and 76ers.

The Cavs still lead the Pistons by a game and a half in the Central, and boast the NBA’s 7th best winning percentage.

LeBron scores 28, Cavs win

Behind LeBron’s 28 points, the Cavs won their 6th game in their last 7 games 104-92 over the LA Clippers.

James was 10-for-23 from the field, two nights after attempting a season-high 28 shots in a 109-90 loss at Phoenix. The two-time All-Star, playing to the celebrity-sprinkled sellout crowd of 20,027 throughout the game, brought many of them to their feet with an exaggerated slam dunk that trimmed the Clippers’ lead to 44-42 with 2:55 left in the half.

LeBron and the Cavs will now travel to Seattle.
