Cavs vs. Rockets
Time off: LeBron James has time to rest up. Cleveland doesn't play again until Monday at Charlotte.
No presents: Before the game, Cavs coach Paul Silas was asked what he bought James for his birthday. "Nothing yet," Silas said. "We'll see. If he has another 40-point game he's going to get something real good."
Quick return: Newly acquired Rockets G David Wesley was back at Gund Arena for the second time in four nights. Wesley was traded to Houston on Monday by New Orleans, which lost to the Cavs on Sunday. Jim Jackson, who was part of the deal, hasn't reported to the Hornets and has been suspended by the club.
Bounces: The Rockets' Bob Sura had a season-high 12 assists. ... James missed three games last year with a sprained ankle.
