LeBron James's nailbighting has been catching on with Cavs fans of late. The Cavaliers won another close game last night 94-93 over the Miami Heat at Gund Arena. Ira Newble, who started for the absent Carlos Boozer, swatted away a Dwayne Wade layup attempt as time expired to preserve the win.

Zydrunas Ilgauskas led the Cavs with 30 points in the win, which matched their total of last season's seventeeen. Carlos Boozer wasn't available for the game due to his grandmother's funeral.

DaJuan Wagner, who finished with 10 points off the bench, made a layup over a couple defenders to take a 94-93 lead with seven seconds left. That setup the Newble block on Wade.

James added 27 points, 11 coming in the fourth quarter, including some rim-rattling dunks. The number one overall pick also added 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals, and one block in his second game back after injuring his ankle.

Ilgauskas got off early, scoring the Cavs first four points against the Heat, who were without injured center Brian Grant. Ilgauskas shot 14-16 from the field and added 11 rebounds. The Cavaliers led by as many as 14 points during their first quarter run. Jeff McInnis chipped in with 4 of his 8 assists during the first period of play.

The Cavs led the Heat 33-21 after one quarter of play, but were outscored and outplayed in both the second and third quarters. Miami took over the game tempo and led 49-48 at the half.

The Heat extended their lead to nine after three quarters, taking a 79-70 lead. Lamar Odom and Wade combined for 13 points during the third quarter.

Miami jumped their lead out to eleven points at 81-70 early in the fourth quarter on a Udonis Haslem dunk. Wagner and James responded with field goals of their own. That sparked a 24-12 run to end the game and a Cavs win. Kevin Ollie added 5 of his 6 assists during the fourth quarter spurt.

The Cavs who were being out-rebounded at the half, ended up on top with a 36-33 rebounding effort. The Heat finished with a 48 percent shooting percentage, while the Cavs were not far behind at 47 percent from the floor. The main difference was at the foul line. Miami was 12-20 from the line for 60 percent, as the Cavs shot 76 percent going 19-25 from the stripe. The Heat ended up with six players in double figures, Eddie Jones being the high man with 16 points.
