GAME RECAP

MVP

Alonzo Gee, Cleveland

Who? The third-year swingman from Alabama provided energy and effort off the bench. Gee had 11 points and 6 rebounds in 26-plus minutes.

BY THE NUMBERS

6 Cavaliers players to score in double figures.

11 Darko Milicic's points in game's first nine minutes. He didn't score again.

12 Michael Beasley rebounds on a night when he shot 4-for-12 and painfully sprained his right foot in the game's final minutes.
