Game Story

ATLANTA (Ticker) -- Despite their troubles on the road this 
season, the Cleveland Cavaliers have taken a liking to Philips
Arena.

LeBron James scored 14 of his 40 points in the fourth quarter as
the Cavaliers posted their second win in as many visits to
Atlanta with a 111-102 triumph over the Hawks.

Just 5-9 away from home this season, including a 93-79 victory
at Atlanta on November 9, Cleveland struggled in the first
quarter and trailed by one point at the half, 51-50.

"At home, we can turn it on, but that's the key on the road,"
James said.  "We've got to try and stick it to them when we
can."

After chipping away in the latter stages of the second quarter,
the Cavaliers took control in the third, building a 79-70 lead
when Jeff McInnis hit a 3-pointer with a minute to go.

Tony Delk ended the third and opened the fourth with 3-pointers,
pulling the Hawks within 79-78, but James scored six points
during an 11-2 run that gave the Cavaliers a 10-point bulge,
90-80.

"Every game on the road is going to take a total team effort,"
said James, who shot 13-of-25 from the field.  "I was feeling it
all night.  We need to come in with this kind of intensity and
try and be .500 on the road."

McInnis capped the spurt with a three-point play with 6:28
remaining.  McInnis scored 16 of his 20 points in the second
half, including all six of his free throws to help Cleveland
shoot 88 percent (30-of-34) from the line.

"We got a lot of guys that can play.  We all play behind
LeBron," McInnis said.  "My points came because I wasn't forcing
them or looking for them."

James added nine rebounds and seven assists and Zydrunas
Ilgauskas scored 20 points for Cleveland, which has won five
straight over Atlanta.

"We feed off Bron," Cavaliers coach Paul Silas said.  "But
everybody else has to pick it up, also.  McInnis certainly did
that and Z-Man (Ilgauskas) did, also.  It was a total team
effort tonight or we don't get this win."

Al Harrington scored a season-high 31 points and Antoine Walker
had 17 and nine rebounds for the Hawks, who lost for the seventh
time in eight games despite making 41-of-78 shots (53 percent).

"At this point, 27 or 28 games into the season, we've got to
stop having mental lapses," said Walker, who committed seven
turnovers.  "We let them come out in the third quarter and take
control of the game."

The Cavaliers erased a six-point deficit early in the second
quarter as McInnis' layup with 9:11 to go forged a 34-34 tie.
But rookie Josh Childress capped a 7-0 run with a three-point
play as Atlanta regained the lead.
