James's Cavs spoil Marion's Toronto NBA debut

Cleveland star LeBron James struggled with his shot early but still helped the Cavaliers spoil Shawn Marion's debut with the Toronto Raptors.

James scored 20 points with nine rebounds and nine assists as Cleveland defeated Toronto 93-76 in a National Basketball Associaiton contest.

In his first game with his new team, Marion collected 10 points with six boards and six assists.

He was traded by the Miami heat on Friday for center Jermaine O'Neal.

"It's just a matter of them getting a feel for me and me getting a feel for them," Marion said. "We saw some good things out there and some things we need to work on. Collectively, we were a little tired by the end."

Zydrunas Ilgauskas finished with 22 points and Mo Williams chipped in 17 for the Cavaliers, who have won six of their last eight games.

"We knew we had a size advantage with these guys," Ilgauskas said. "They looked for me early in the post and we were able to succeed."

Joey Graham registered 15 points, Jose Calderon had 13 and Andrea Bargnani added 11 for the Raptors, who were again without All-Star forward Chris Bosh.

"It's frustrating, you try so many looks, so many game plans and schemes and none of them worked too well," Graham said. "We fought hard for 48 minutes and gave a lot of effort."

James missed his first four shots and scored just four points in the first half, when the Cavaliers nevertheless took a 47-41 lead into the break.

But James heated up after the break as the Cavaliers rolled to the victory.
