Antawn Jamison

Stephen Jackson scored 29 points and the Charlotte Bobcats took advantage of Antawn Jamison's miserable debut for Cleveland in a 110-93 victory Friday night to send the Cavaliers to their second straight loss. Two days after being acquired from Washington, Jamison came off the bench and promptly shot 0 for 12 from the field. He was blocked five times and tossed up two airballs, while looking out of sync with his new teammates. The Bobcats won the season series from the Cavaliers, 3-1. -- associated press

CLEVELAND — All-Star forward Chris Bosh was flattened by an inadvertent elbow from Cleveland's Antawn Jamison in the first quarter and suffered a broken bone in his face Tuesday night as the Toronto Raptors, battling Chicago for the final postseason spot in the Eastern Conference, were beaten, 113-101, by the Cavaliers, who have won 11 straight at home. The Raptors, one game ahead of the Bulls for No. 8 in the East, said tests showed Bosh had suffered a "maxilla and nasal fracture to the right side of his face."

There's hope for the rest of us In the good news for Gilbert Arenas , at least they didn't send him to Alcatraz to bunk with Al Capone . Actually, Alcatraz is part of a national park, Capone is dead and the big guy wouldn't have taken anyone who was in for not licensing unloaded pistols seriously, anyway. The judge set aside a request for three months in jail by the crusading D.A. — who let teammate Javaris Crittenton off with a misdemeanor — instead suspending Arenas' sentence with 30 days in a halfway house.

at Washington 97, Portland 92: Antawn Jamison scored 21 of his 28 points after halftime for the Wizards, who won a second consecutive game for only the fourth time in a distressing season that includes last week's guilty plea to a felony gun charge by three-time All-Star Gilbert Arenas. Portland, which is missing several regulars due to injuries, was without leading scorer Brandon Roy, who has a hamstring injury. at Memphis 125, Phoenix 118: Rudy Gay scored 31 points, O.J. Mayo had 28, and Zach Randolph added 27 points and 11 rebounds and the Grizzlies extended their franchise-best home winning streak to nine games.

Antawn Jamison delivered a double-double in his season debut, and the Washington Wizards defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers, 108-91, Wednesday night to end a losing streak at six games. Wearing a white protective sleeve over the right shoulder that had sidelined him since October, Jamison looked in midseason form from the start. He scored 13 points in the first quarter and finished with 31, along with 10 rebounds. LeBron James had 34 points and nine assists, but he scored only six points in the fourth quarter.

Washington Wizard forward Antawn Jamison had arthroscopic surgery on his right knee, and the team said that he was expected to make a full recovery before training camp. Jamison battled tendinitis in the knee for most of the second half of the season. He had played in 386 consecutive games -- at the time, the NBA's longest active streak -- before sitting out a game March 8 because of the knee. Jamison then sat out 11 of the Wizards' next 13 games.

The last-place Washington Wizards overcame distractions, and a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit, to beat the first-place Orlando Magic, 104-97, Friday in their first home game since Gilbert Arenas' suspension after he brought guns into the team's locker room. Earlier Friday, four Wizards players, including former USC guard Nick Young, were fined $10,000 each for making fun of the situation Tuesday in a pregame stunt with Arenas. Antawn Jamison, who had 28 points Friday, told the crowd before the game that the situation was "very embarrassing" and that "being a positive role model is something we don't take lightly."

There was no way that last shot could go in. No way the Washington Wizards could lose their first game without the only owner the franchise had known through 46 seasons. Louis Williams' three-pointer at the buzzer rimmed out, giving the Wizards an emotional 108-107 win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday night, hours after the death of owner Abe Pollin. "I guess Mr. P, he probably contested that last shot better than anybody," Wizards Coach Flip Saunders said. Down the hall, the opposing coach -- who worked for Pollin until last season -- uttered the same thought.

'Gunsmoke,' NBA-style Is that all there was? The Gilbert Arenas - Javaris Crittenton incident, which looked like the Gunfight at the NBA Corral, now looks more like the comic duel in "Love and Death" between the Woody Allen character and Count Anton Inbedkov, rivals for the notorious Countess Alexandrovna. As scary as it is for children to play with guns, they don't seem to have drawn down on each other, as reported by a single outlet, the New York Post, and recycled endlessly.
