Basketball Betting Lines

03/16/2010 - Auburn Hills, MI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Mo Williams backed LeBron James' 28th career triple-double with 20 points, as Cleveland turned it on in the fourth quarter to post a 113-101 victory over Detroit.

James ended with 29 points, 12 assists and 12 rebounds in the Cavaliers' fourth straight win and 10th in 11 games.

Antawn Jamison chipped in 15 points and 10 boards for Cleveland, which made 5- of-9 from three-point land in the fourth quarter to pull away.

Richard Hamilton had 24 points, Charlie Villanueva scored 16 and Jason Maxiell ended with 15 rebounds and 10 points for the Pistons, who have dropped three in a row.

Tayshaun Prince finished with 15 points, seven rebounds and eight assists in defeat.

Williams' three-pointer broke a 94-94 tie with 4 1/2 minutes left, while Anderson Varejao and James hit buckets around a Prince make for a 101-96 lead.

After Hamilton made a three to cut the deficit to 104-101 with two minutes remaining, James missed a try from long distance before blocking Will Bynum's layup attempt, though replay showed the ball hit the backboard before James denied the bucket.

After a quick Cavs turnover, Jonas Jerebko was called for a charge, and James hit a long deuce and a three-pointer around two missed Maxiell free throws to put the game in the books.

An evenly-played first quarter ended 28-all, and a similar second frame was capped by seven straight Pistons points for a slim 56-54 advantage. It was a 76-75 Detroit lead with 12 minutes to play.
