James Scores 30 In Cavs' Historic Rout of Wiz

Posted Apr 21, 08 10:54 PM CDT in Sports 

(Newser) – Maybe Gilbert Arenas was talking about some other Cavaliers. The Cleveland team he and the Washington Wizards faced Monday night doesn't look so beatable. LeBron James scored 30 points, Zydrunas Ilgauskas added 16, and the Cavaliers played their best game in months, blowing out Arenas and Co. 116-86.

Cleveland took a 2-0 lead in an opening-round playoff series oozing with bad blood; Washington's defensive scheme coming into their third series in as many years with Cleveland was to slow James by roughing him up with hard, clean fouls. It failed—the 30-point margin of victory was the largest in Cleveland's postseason history.
