Nets overcome James' triple-double, beat Cavs 112-107
NEW YORK -- With injuries on both sides, the point guard matchup came down to LeBron James against Spencer Dinwiddie. James had the bigger numbers. Dinwiddie made the biggest plays.
Dinwiddie hit the go-ahead 3-pointer with 43 seconds left, and the Brooklyn Nets overcame James' first triple-double of the season to beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 112-107 on Wednesday night.
James had 29 points, 13 assists and 10 rebounds in his 56th triple-double, but he missed two free throws -- the second intentionally -- with the Cavaliers trailing by two with 7.6 seconds remaining. DeMarre Carroll then hit a free throw and the Cavs' long inbounds pass intended for James went out of bounds.
