SUNDAY'S GAMES

The Tampa Tribune

Published: January 7, 2008

CAVALIERS 93, RAPTORS 90: LeBron James scored 39 points, including 24 in the fourth quarter, to help Cleveland rally for victory against Toronto. Trailing 70-57 to begin the fourth quarter, James scored on a layup, a free throw and back-to-back 3-pointers in the first three minutes. Damon Jones added two 3-pointers before James tied it at 76 with a jump shot at 6:26. James gave Cleveland its first lead with a 3-pointer from the right wing at 3:59, then drained another 3-pointer on the Cavaliers' next possession. MAVERICKS 101, TIMBERWOLVES 78: Dirk Nowitzki led Dallas in scoring for the ninth straight game, scoring 30 points, and the Mavs handed Minnesota its eighth consecutive loss. Josh Howard added 22 points and eight rebounds for the Mavericks, who led by as many as 31 points en route to their fourth win in a row and ninth in their last 11. SPURS 88, CLIPPERS 82: Tim Duncan had 17 points and 17 rebounds, Tony Parker scored 26 points and San Antonio beat Los Angeles. Manu Ginobili, back for San Antonio after missing five games with a sprained left index finger, scored 12 of his 23 points in the fourth quarter. He had his hand wrapped to protect his injured finger. GRIZZLIES 101, HEAT 94: Pau Gasol had 28 points and 13 rebounds, Mike Miller added 25 points, and Memphis sent Miami to its seventh straight loss. Memphis outscored Miami 9-2 in the final 2 minutes for its second win in the last three. WIZARDS 108, SONICS 86: Caron Butler scored 31 points and Antawn Jamison added 21 points and 12 rebounds, leading Washington to a win. It was Butler's third game of 30 or more points, and the second consecutive game the Wizards won by more than 20 - the first time that's happened since December 2004. BUCKS 93, BOBCATS 89: Reserve Charlie Bell scored 27 points and Andrew Bogut added 25, including a short hook shot with 19 seconds left, to lead Milwaukee past Charlotte. Bogut's hoop capped Milwaukee's comeback from an eight-point deficit with 3:51 remaining. NUGGETS 109, SIXERS 96: Allen Iverson scored 38 points in Denver's victory against Philadelphia. He had a shot at 40 but dribbled out the final few seconds at midcourt, tossed the ball to the official and bear-hugged Louis Williams. Iverson had 30 against the Sixers last year, three weeks after he was traded to the Nuggets, but didn't stick around for the end of that one, drawing an ejection in the final minutes of a 108-97 loss.
