Salmons opened the fourth with a steal, was fouled on a fast-break layup and
made the free throw for a 76-65 lead. That briefly spurred Philadelphia to a
13-point lead, only to have Villanueva and the Raptors chip away.
Bosh had 19 points, and Rose 15 for the Raptors.
James' 37 leads Cavaliers past Wizards 114-99
CLEVELAND - LeBron James reminded Larry
Hughes why he came to Cleveland in the first place. James scored a season-high
37 points and Hughes added 22 in his first game against his former team as the
Cleveland Cavaliers roughed up the Washington Wizards 114-99 on Tuesday
night.
James, who helped recruit Hughes as a free agent during the
offseason, scored just two points in the first quarter but followed with 14 in
the second, 14 in the third and seven in the fourth before leaving with 2:32
left.
The Cavaliers won their fifth straight, and are 4-0 at home, winning by an
average of 21 points at Quicken Loans Arena.
Hughes was only 6-of-18 from the field, but he added eight assists and made
two 3-pointers and scored 12 points in the final 5:03 to thwart a Wizards rally.
Donyell Marshall added 16 points and Zydrunas Ilgauskas 12 for the Cavs.
Washington's Gilbert Arenas, who scored a league-high 43 on Saturday night
against San Antonio, was held to 18 — 10 below his average — and shot just
4-of-17. Antawn Jamison led the Wizards with 26 points and Caron Butler had 14.
With James on the bench, the Wizards pulled to 86-77 early in the fourth on a
layup by Antonio Daniels. But James came back after sitting for only 1:12 and
the Cavaliers immediately went on an 8-0 run.
Moments later, Hughes drained a 3-pointer and Drew Gooden scored on a putback
as the Cavaliers opened a 101-86 lead and coasted.
