CLEVELAND (Ticker) -- If the Cleveland Cavaliers needed anyincentive to sign two of its key role players from last season,then it came in the form of a lackluster 81-62 exhibition lossto the Washington Wizards on Tuesday.


LeBron James and the defending Eastern Conference championslooked ragged without Anderson Varejao and Sasha Pavlovic. Thetwo foreign players who both evolved last season and wereinstrumental in the Cavaliers' run to the NBA Finals.

Both Varejao and Pavlovic have been absent since camp opened onOctober 1. In addition, veteran point guard Eric Snow is outfive more weeks following knee surgery.


James played 15 minutes and shot 1-of-5 from the floor,finishing with three points and three turnovers.


The Cavaliers shot just 29 percent from the floor and turned theball over 14 times in the first half as the Wizards built a45-29 lead.


Gilbert Arenas didn't fare much better than James, shooting2-of-11 from the field and scoring nine points in 22 minutes.

Washington used a 15-0 run midway through the second quarter totake charge. Veteran guard Antonio Daniels collected 10 points,four rebounds and three assists for the Wizards. Antawn Jamison(17 minutes) and Caron Butler (19 minutes) scored eight and fivepoints, respectively.


Cleveland playoff hero Daniel Gibson, a second-year guard,scored 13 points. Veteran guard Damon Jones added nine for theCavaliers.
