Cleveland ? Darius Miles couldn’t help himself.

Caught up in the euphoria of a home-opening win over the Lakers, one of the newest Cavaliers spoke his mind.

“We’re going to put on a show every night,” Miles told the Gund Arena crowd. “We’re going to surprise the world.”

Well, they’ve already stunned the Lakers.

Zydrunas Ilgauskas scored 23 points for Cleveland in an 89-70 victory over the Shaq-less Lakers, whose point total was the franchise’s lowest since moving to Los Angeles in 1960.

The Lakers scored just 10 points in the fourth quarter.

Ricky Davis added 24 points and Tyrone Hill had 17 rebounds for the Cavs, who dazzled a crowd of 19,833 including high school phenom LeBron James by blowing out the three-time defending NBA champions.

“I love proving people wrong,” said Miles, who had 13 points in his home debut. “They say we’re the 29th team in the league? Maybe we’ll just go out and make the playoffs.”

With Shaquille O’Neal missing his fifth game while recovering from off-season foot surgery, the Lakers had no inside game and only Kobe Bryant as an offensive threat.

Bryant finished with 15 points, 13 rebounds and nine assists in 40 minutes, and just missed becoming the first player since Grant Hill in 1997 to have three straight triple-doubles.

Orlando's Grant Hill (33) dunks in the first quarter as teammate Shawn Kemp, left, looks on. The Magic beat the Kings, 125-121, Tuesday in Orlando, Fla.

“We didn’t hit shots and fell in love with the outside shot too much and they didn’t fall,” Bryant said.

Previously, the fewest points the Lakers had ever scored in a game since moving from Minneapolis was 74. Los Angeles shot just 32 percent, including 4-of-20 on 3-pointers. In the fourth, the Lakers went just 5-of-22.

“We got good shots but we didn’t knock them down,” said Robert Horry. “Tonight, everybody shot it bad, everybody.”

After Davis’ reverse dunk put Cleveland up by 20 with 3:30 left, fans began chanting, “Beat, L.A.” and saluted the Cavs with several standing ovations.

It was an ideal start at home for the young Cavs, who are coming off three straight 50-loss seasons and aren’t expected to be much better this season.

“It was a good win,” Miles said. “But they didn’t have Shaq. Shaq is 30 points. Shaq is 20 rebounds. Shaq is five blocks. He’ll be back when we go to Los Angeles (Jan. 10). He told me he owes me one.”

O’Neal is eligible to be activated for Thursday night’s game in Boston, but it’s unlikely he will make his debut until next Tuesday in Atlanta.

Magic 125, Kings 121

Orlando, Fla. After five games, Tracy McGrady already has a strong feeling about where he and Grant Hill can lead the Orlando Magic.

McGrady broke the 40-point barrier for the second straight game, scoring 41 as the Magic held off a Sacramento rally.

Houston center Yao Ming shoots over Seattle's Jerome James (33) in the second quarter. The Sonics won Tuesday's game in Houston, 104-97.

“I see something good with this team in the playoffs. I really think this is the team of the East,” McGrady said. “Last year, I was hoping that we were going to be a good team. This year, I truly believe we’re a good team. Having Grant back is really helping our confidence even more.”

McGrady, coming off a 47-point performance in a road win at Milwaukee, made 15 of 27 shots and also had eight rebounds and seven assists for the Magic, who are off to a 4-1 start for the first time since 1998-99.

Hill, who sat out the second half of Saturday’s victory over the Bucks after feeling pain in his surgically repaired left ankle, had 21 points in 33 minutes while showing no signs of being hampered by the injury that sidelined him most of the last two seasons.

The six-time All-Star shot 9-of-13 and even surprised some of his teammates by dunking in a game for the first time since early last season.

“That felt good,” said Hill, who had three slams. “Each week I’m doing something new, and that’s good. The main thing is that we won. We’re 4-1. It doesn’t matter if we won by 20 or by four, we still got the win.”

Bobby Jackson scored 16 of his 26 points in the fourth quarter, keying a rally from a 109-91 deficit in the last 8:25.

Pacers 83, Heat 79

Miami Brad Miller scored 28 points and made key plays on both ends of the floor in the final minute.

With the game tied at 77, Miller lobbed a perfect pass above the rim for Jermaine O’Neal, whose dunk put the Pacers ahead with 50 seconds left. Miller then blocked a shot by Eddie Jones, whose strong play helped Miami rally in the fourth quarter.

Miller finished out the scoring for the Pacers by hitting a pair of free throws for an 81-77 lead with 22 seconds left, then adding two more for an 83-79 margin with 12.5 seconds left.

O’Neal scored 22 points and added 13 rebounds as the Pacers, playing without the injured Reggie Miller (ankle), improved to 3-1. The Heat lost guard Travis Best to a right ankle sprain in the fourth quarter. Bes scored 16 points in 32 minutes before landing awkwardly with 10:26 left.

Timberwolves 90,

Wizards 86

Minneapolis Kendall Gill rallied Minnesota with nine of his 22 points in the fourth quarters.

Kevin Garnett was 5-for-5 in the final period and finished with 17 points and 16 rebounds for Minnesota, which outscored the Wizards 24-11 in the fourth.

Jerry Stackhouse had 25 points and seven assists, Tyronn Lue scored 13 points and Michael Jordan added 10 on 5-for-14 shooting for Washington, which fell to 1-3.

The game drew an announced crowd of 18,009 997 short of capacity. It was only the fourth time since Jordan’s return the first this season that a Wizards game hasn’t sold out.

Gill, a 13-year veteran, had by far his best game while matched mostly against Jordan.

After Garnett hit a jumper over Stackhouse to make it 82-all and rejected Etan Thomas at the other end, Gill capped a 17-3 run.

He gave Minnesota its first lead since the second quarter by draining a 3-pointer from the top of the key with 2:44 left.

After two free throws by Stackhouse, Gill turned a steal into a fastbreak layup and an 87-84 edge. After a Wizards turnover, a shot by Gill over Jordan made it 89-84 with 56 seconds left.

For an exclamation, Gill got a piece of Jordan’s jumper at the free throw line on the next possession.

Troy Hudson had 17 points on 7-for-13 shooting for Minnesota.

Jordan wasn’t much of a factor after scoring 21 points in each of his last two games. He did, however, hit back-to-back baskets late in the third quarter as Washington pulled away with a 10-0 run and grabbed its biggest lead of the game, 71-57.

In the first half, Jordan converted a dazzling up-and-under reverse layup.

Spurs 93, Warriors 73

San Antonio Malik Rose hit just the seventh 3-pointer of his career, a 39-footer to end a lopsided third quartert.

After trailing 45-42 at halftime, the Spurs outscored the Warriors 31-12 in the third quarter. Rose’s 3-pointer beat the buzzer and gave San Antonio a 73-57 lead.

Tim Duncan had 13 points and 10 rebounds, Tony Parker scored 21, Stephen Jackson added 13 and Rose 12. David Robinson had 13 rebounds to go with 10 points.

Antawn Jamison scored 16, Gilbert Arenas had 14 points and 12 rebounds, Jason Richardson added 14 points and Troy Murphy 10 for the Warriors, who lost their fourth in a row.

Sonics 104, Rockets 97

Houston Gary Payton had a career-high 18 assists as Seattle almost blew a 20-point fourth-quarter lead before holding off the Rockets 104-97 to remain unbeaten.

Seattle (4-0) pulled away in the third quarter with long-range shooting, making five 3s in the quarter. The Sonics finished 11-for-18 from 3-point range, including 4-of-5 by Vladimir Radmanovic.

The Sonics had six players in double figures, led by Payton with 20 and Rashard Lewis with 18 points and 12 rebounds.

Payton’s 18 assists gave him 6,968 for his career and moved him past Bob Cousy (6,955) for 11th place on the career list.

Steve Francis had 33 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists.

Hawks 103, Nuggets 87

Denver Glenn Robinson was held below 30 points for the first time this season, but the Atlanta Hawks still gained their third straight victory by defeating the Denver Nuggets 103-87 Tuesday night.

Robinson, who scored 34, 30 and 30 in Atlanta’s first three games, had 23 points on 9-for-18 shooting. Shareef Abdur-Rahim added 19 points and 12 rebounds.

Alan Henderson scored seven of his 17 points and Dion Glover had 10 of his 14 in the fourth quarter when the Hawks pulled away. Juwan Howard led Denver with 25 points and 15 rebounds.
