James, Cavs Invade Charlotte To Take On Bobcats
(Sports Network) - The Charlotte Bobcats have the unenviable task of slowing down the Cleveland Cavaliers this evening when LeBron James and company invade Time Warner Cable Arena.Cleveland enters tonight's tilt having won three straight and eight of its last nine following a victory over the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday. James led the way in that one, as he poured in a game-high 34 points, grabbed eight rebounds, and dished out seven assists. Mo Williams added 14 points and eight assists in the win, while Anthony Parker and Daniel Gibson each chipped in 13 points. "We got solid production from our bench which was good and then 'Bron was 'Bron," said Cavaliers head coach Mike Brown. "He shoots 50 percent from the field and gets almost a triple-double again. For a guy as talented as he is, it seems so ordinary." However, James, who is averaging 34.2 points over his last five games, endured his lowest scoring game of the season against the Bobcats back on October 31 when he netted just 14 in the his team's 90-79 win. It was the only time this season he was held to under 20 points. Cleveland, which will return home for the next three games, is 6-2 away from home this season. Charlotte, meanwhile, also enters with a modest two-game winning streak after a pair of impressive wins over the Indiana Pacers and Toronto Raptors. The Bobcats destroyed Toronto on Wednesday, as Gerald Wallace poured in a season- high 31 points and grabbed 13 rebounds, helping Charlotte to a 116-81 triumph. The 35-point win was the largest margin of victory in franchise history. Stephen Jackson added 23 points and six assists for the Bobcats, whose win streak comes on the heels of a seven-game skid. Jackson and Wallace combined to shoot 18-of-20 from the foul line. Charlotte, which will head to Washington to face the Wizards on Saturday, is 5-2 at home this season. Including the win earlier in the year, Cleveland is an incredible 16-3 all- time versus the Bobcats. The Cavs have also won the last seven in the series and is 6-3 in Charlotte.
