Jackson and Bobcats dominate Cavs
Basketball Betting Lines
02/19/2010 -
Charlotte, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Stephen Jackson poured in 29 points and
pulled down eight rebounds, as the Charlotte Bobcats handled the Cleveland Cavaliers, 110-93, in a battle between two teams that made moves prior to
Thursday's trade deadline.
The Bobcats improved their roster by obtaining forward Tyrus Thomas and center
Theo Ratliff in separate deadline deals. Charlotte sent guards Flip Murray and
Acie Law and a future first-round draft choice to Chicago for Thomas, while
the 15-year veteran Ratliff was acquired from San Antonio for a second-round
selection in 2016.
Thomas ended with nine points and 12 rebounds while Ratliff grabbed five
rebounds and blocked two shots for the Bobcats, who have won three of four.
Boris Diaw donated 18 points and nine assists. Gerald Wallace added 17 points
and eight boards while Raymond Felton finished with 16 points and six assists
for Charlotte, which won the season series with Cleveland, 3-1.
The Cavaliers, who have lost two in row since a franchise-record 13-game win
streak, acquired two-time All-Star Antawn Jamison from the Washington Wizards
in a three-team, six-player trade on Wednesday. However Jamison had a horrible
debut on Friday, going 0-for-12 from the field for just two points while
pulling down seven rebounds.
LeBron James paced the Cleveland offense with 22 points and nine assists.
Delonte West donated 13 points off the bench while Mo Williams added 12 points
for the Cavaliers, who shot 39 percent from the field.
Ahead 65-64 with five minutes left in the third, Charlotte closed the stanza
out on a 17-4 run to create some breathing room. D.J. Augustin tallied five
points during the stretch, including a three-pointer at the buzzer to make it
82-68 heading to the fourth.
Cleveland never got closer than 11 in the fourth.
The Cavaliers led by as many as eight in the first quarter and held a 32-27
margin after 12 minutes.
Trailing 45-41 with over four minutes left until half, Charlotte ripped off
seven consecutive points to take a 48-45 lead on Diaw's layup with 2:41
remaining. The score was tied at 50-50 heading into the locker room.
The Bobcats scored eight straight points in the early stages of the third.
Diaw's three-pointer had Charlotte in front 61-55 with less than 8 1/2 minutes
to go.
Game Notes

guard Sebastian Telfair from the Los Angeles Clippers as part of the deal.
