CAVALIERS Duncan's numbers better in rematch

The Spurs, who have won 27 of the last 30 games with Cleveland, had five players in double figures.
SAN ANTONIO (AP) -- Two days after being held to a season-low six points, Tim Duncan wasn't about to get shut down again by the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Duncan scored 25 points to lead the San Antonio Spurs to a 104-78 victory, sending Cleveland to its seventh straight loss.
Once is enough
"I knew Duncan was going to come out and have a good game tonight," Cavaliers center Zydrunas Ilgauskas said. "It's tough to contain a player that good two games in a row. I knew he was motivated to play well. We also didn't always double him. We just tried to as best we could to contest his shots."
The Spurs, who have won 27 of the last 30 meetings with Cleveland, had five score in double figures. Reserve Stephen Jackson scored 18 points, Steve Smith and Kevin Willis added 12 apiece and Tony Parker had 10. Behind Jackson, San Antonio's bench outscored Cleveland's 48-9.
"We really did a great job of moving the ball around and getting everyone involved," Jackson said. "The more patient we are in our offense, the more we were hitting our shots. I think we will get better, though, as the season moves on."
San Antonio beat Cleveland 90-77 on Saturday, but Duncan was shut down because of foul trouble.
"We played the same game as we did in Cleveland, and that's a good sign," San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich said. "It's tough to play the same team back-to-back after you beat them the first time. I was pleased with our aggressiveness and tenacity. The bench was terrific."
Cleveland was led by Ilgauskas, who scored 25 points. Ricky Davis added 19.
Evaluation
"Tonight, our turnovers led to points and theirs did not," Cleveland coach John Lucas said. "We are a young team, but I thought we did a lot of good things at points in this game. Their bench hurt us a lot, too. They didn't miss much when they went to their bench."
Duncan was poked in the right eye by Davis but returned to score 14 first-half points. San Antonio outscored Cleveland 25-14 in the second quarter.
"We really did a much better job of moving the ball around," said Duncan, who shot 9-of-16 from the floor and had nine rebounds. "They really hurt us in the start of the game, but once we got settled in defensively and took our time, we really started to make things go better."
The Spurs held Cleveland to only 37.5 percent shooting.
