SAN ANTONIO –
Cleveland’s bench and Zydrunas Ilgauskas were a major factor in assiting LeBron James to beat the San Antonio 90-88 on Thursday night in the teams' first meeting since the Spurs swept the NBA finals last season.
With a 6-1 start since the New year the Cleveland Cavaliers looks to be that team playoff team again. Cleveland maintained the league throughout the game until the 4th quarter when Ginobili scored eight straight points to bring the Spurs within 5. Bu the defense from Zydrunas Ilgauskas who had 17 points and Anderson Varejao who also scored 12 points and grabbed 14 rebounds for Cleveland gave them the win in San Antonio. What a great feeling for Cleveland to beat the team that swept them in playoffs.
