The surprise loss to Charlotte is cleared. Dominating last night the Dallas Mavericks (111-95), the Cleveland Cavaliers have reset the machine under the leadership of Le Bron James and Mo Williams, both authors of 25 points. Texas coast, Earth eternal gold pulled out of the game by compiling 27 points and 9 rebounds, while also not helped Jason Terry (25 points). But the five major Cavs disappointed, as usual holders Shaquille O’Neal, Eternal Gold and Anthony Parker did not really held their rank. Mike Brown, coach of Cleveland, was then able to count on Anderson Varejao (15 points and 9 rebounds), Delonte West (10 points and 10 rebounds) and Jamario Moon (13 points), 38 points from the bench.
James’s team dominated throughout the game the Mavericks too passive in the paint, an attitude that reflects the absence of their pivotal holder Eric Dampier. “This is probably the worst defensive game we’ve done since the beginning of the season. We can not afford against a very strong team at home. That made life very difficult,” acknowledged Rick Carlisle, Dallas coach after the match. Anderson Varejão has taken advantage of those defensive lapses to win and put his team on the road to victory, especially in capturing three important offensive rebounds in the third quarter. “I tried to be aggressive and go to the basket, combining well with LeBron and Mo. This is why we have a great team, made of big stars and good players coming from the bench” said the Brazilian.
