Cavaliers escape at buzzer

Stephen Jackson's 3-point shot in overtime rattled in and out for the Warriors.
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -- The fate of the Cleveland Cavaliers' road trip and the new Golden State Warriors' debut all hung on one last overtime 3-point shot by Stephen Jackson.
It rattled in and out at the buzzer, sending LeBron James home with an improbable victory -- but the Warriors' exhilarated new players felt a bit like winners as well.
James scored 32 points and Larry Hughes had 15 as the Cavaliers put an impressive finish on their seven-game trip with a 106-104 victory Saturday night.
Zydrunas Ilgauskas had 14 points and 11 rebounds as the Cavaliers snapped a three-game losing streak by rallying from an 18-point halftime deficit in their fourth game in five nights.
With solid second-half defense and just enough LeBron offense, Cleveland spoiled the entertaining Golden State debuts of Jackson, Al Harrington and Sarunas Jasikevicius, who arrived in an eight-player trade with Indiana last Wednesday.
"In the second half, it was like night and day," James said. "We just dug down and did what we've been doing. Before the three-game losing streak, that's what we were doing. We were getting stops, and we found a way to win."
Absence of Davis
Jackson scored a season-high 29 points and Harrington had 14 points and 12 rebounds on a poor shooting night, but the Warriors' newcomers couldn't overcome the absence of guard Baron Davis, who served a one-game suspension.
After starting and ending their biggest West Coast road trip in Northern California, the Cavaliers will play nine of their next 11 games at home -- including a rematch with the Warriors in 10 days. The Cavs will travel west of Texas just once more this season: a two-game trip right before the All-Star break.
"We could have easily rolled over and quit, but our guys decided to come out in the second half and play the type of basketball we're capable of," Cavs coach Mike Brown said.
Golden State missed its first eight shots of overtime, and James scored five points before Jasikevicius' 3-pointer pulled the Warriors within two. James fumbled the ensuing in-bounds pass, but then stripped the ball from Golden State's Matt Barnes on a drive to the hoop.
David Wesley missed two free throws to give the Warriors one last chance, but Jackson's 3-pointer barely missed.
