While coach Mike Brown and superstar LeBron James didn't care for the officiating in the Cavaliers' 106-96 Game 4 loss to the Washington Wizards, shoot-ing guard Larry Hughes said Cleveland players should look in the mirror. "In the third quarter, we weren't executing the way we planned to and it showed," he said. "We lost the game in the third quarter no matter what calls were made." The Cavaliers looked like they were going to take a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven series after going up 13 points early in the third period, but they finished that quarter with just 15 points. Washington ended up tying the score at 72 heading into the final quarter, then outscored Cleveland 34-24 over the last 12 minutes. The good news for the Cavaliers is they will be back at home for Game 5 Wednesday night. "This is going to be a great series," James said. "They were at home and they did a great job of locking us down in the third quarter and taking advantage of us in the second half." o o o BEING CAREFUL: Though a number of Cavaliers and Wizards players credited Washington's small lineup and double-teaming for holding James scoreless in the third period, Wizards coach Eddie Jordan wanted to make sure he didn't say anything that might motivate James for Game 5. "I'll be careful what I say," Jordan said. "He missed shots." o o o ENOUGH ALREADY: Cavaliers guard Damon Jones, who has scored three points in the entire series and gotten torched by Antonio Daniels at the other end, has decided to stop calling Wizards center Brendan Haywood "a baby," but Washington players haven't forgotten. "That's Damon Jones," Gilbert Arenas said. "Damon Jones is a character. No matter if he's playing or not, he's going to say something. It got the team all riled up." o o o FANCY PANTS: The Washington Post did a short story talking about the best-dressed players on the two teams, with the top choices being Jones, James, Caron Butler and Jared Jeffries. TNT analyst Cheryl Miller chose Jones, saying, "He's a man in touch with his feminine side ? very much in touch." o o o KNOCKOUT: Though Washington attempted 40 free throws to Cleveland's 25 in Game 4, Arenas is maintaining a boxing approach: He views the Wizards as the challenger that needs a knockout and the Cavaliers as the champion. "With this team, we have to actually beat them," he said. "It can't be a decision. It can't be up to the referees. We have to beat them." o o o COMEBACK KIDS: All season, the Wizards have played well when they've been behind, but they've struggled to maintain a lead. That trend has continued in the playoffs. "We play like crap with the lead," Jordan said. "We can't stand prosperity, but we're resilient."</div> Source
