<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">James scored 14 points as part of a balanced attack as the Cleveland Cavaliers routed the Lakers, 102-87, in a preseason contest. In Thursday's game at the Staples Center, James - the highly touted teenager that the Cavaliers selected with the top overall pick in the draft - scored just eight points in 39 minutes before fouling out. He had seven rebounds and six assists but made just 4-of-18 shots. That game was on national cable TV. This one was in front of a smaller audience as it was shown via "webcast" on NBA.com. Those who linked up to watch saw the Cavs avenge Thursday's loss. James hardly played in the second quarter, when Cleveland outscored Los Angeles, 32-12, to open a 57-33 halftime lead. Point guard Kevin Ollie, a Southern California native signed as a free agent during the offseason, scored 10 of his 15 points in the period. Ricky Davis scored 27 points for the Cavs, who played without swingman Ira Newble and guard Dajuan Wagner, both sidelined with injuries. Lakers superstar center Shaquille O'Neal scored 20 points playing just the first and third quarters. He was the only player in double figures for LA, which again was without star guard Kobe Bryant. </div> Link
