James rules bobblehead night

? On his bobblehead night, LeBron James again left everyone shaking their heads.

“He just amazes me,” Cleveland coach Paul Silas said.

The Cavaliers’ rookie scored 24 points in three quarters, and Zydrunas Ilgauskas added 17, and the Cavs rolled to a 112-80 win Wednesday night over the Atlanta Hawks.

With their fifth win in seven games, the Cavaliers moved within a half game of the No. 8 playoff spot in the East. Cleveland is only 11/2 games out of the sixth playoff spot.

“We want to get there,” James said. “I want to get there.”

A sellout crowd of 20,562 came to Gund Arena for the bobblehead giveaway; the first 10,000 fans through the door received the tiny statues of James.

The other 10,000 fans who didn’t get the hot collectible didn’t leave disappointed, however, as James made several jaw-dropping plays while leading the Cavaliers to their most lopsided win this season.
