The Cavs seemed very focused from the opening tip knowing that LeBron James wasn’t going to be there to rely on. The Cavs had 8 players finish in double figures in scoring and they outrebounded the Warriors 48-35. That explains why they won this game. Sasha Pavlovic started in place of LeBron and he scored a career high 24 points and he also had 3 rebounds and 3 assists. Donyell Marshall had a super 15 minutes on the court in which he scored 15 points and grabbed 5 rebounds. Zydrunas Ilgauskas had a really solid game with 14 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists. Daniel Gibson had a fine first start with the Cavs as he scored 12 points and grabbed 3 rebounds. He hit 4 of 5 of the 3-point shots he attempted.

The Cavaliers improved to 26-19 on the season with this big win. http://scores.espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=270130005
