23 points and Tristan Thompson scored 20 to go along with 10 rebounds.

"Obviously it is a good road win for us and a good way to finish out our road
trip. ... Give our guys credit for hanging in there," coach Mike Brown said.
"We are competing defensively. I think it is just a simple formula. We are
moving the basketball and trying to play for one another. We are getting a
little better each time we step on the floor."

騎士教練Mike Brown說："這是場漂亮的客場勝利，讓我們的客場征戰有好的結局，
我們的球員整場都打出好表現，值得讚許。我們在防守端展現拼戰精神，也打出團

shooting 6 of 17.

winning it's fun."

Deng說："我認為我們的隊員都很興奮，在拿下勝利之後大家團結一致，我們持續
進步，贏球讓比賽更有趣了。"Deng最近三場平均23.3分。

in seven games. The Cavaliers are averaging 49.9 boards in their victories
compared to 41.2 in their defeats.

energy. ... We need that consistently."

one of the league's worst rebounding teams at 40.0 per game. Cleveland has
been a bit vulnerable defensively, allowing an average of 112.2 points in its
last five games, while Dallas is averaging 112.0 points in its last six.

surrendering 93.0 points per game.

然而小牛上一場也打出了本季最慘的比賽之一，以111-127在家慘敗給波特蘭拓荒者。


The Mavericks allowed the Trail Blazers to shoot 51.1 percent and fell behind
by as many as 38 before outscoring Portland 41-23 in the fourth quarter with
the game out of reach. Dallas had won four of its previous five.

小牛讓拓荒者命中率來到51.1%，一度落後38分，最後才靠第四節41-23的比分差把
最後的差距拉的好看一點，不過小牛在之前的五戰拿下四勝。


"We regressed tonight. The first three quarters are beyond embarrassing,"
coach Rick Carlisle told the team's official website. "We weren't playing
together. We weren't helping each other. Do that against a quality team ...
and they're going to make you pay a heavy price."

小牛教練Rick Carlisle在官網訪問中說："我們今晚退步許多，前三節的表現讓人
尷尬，我們的球員各自為政，沒有彼此幫助，當你用這樣的表現面對聯盟強權時，
他們就會狠狠的擊垮你。"

was held to 18 while shooting 6 of 17. Shawn Marion scored three on 1 of 6
from the field.
