West sparks Cavs to 90-79 win

By TOM WITHERS AP Sports Writer

CLEVELAND (AP) - Delonte West scored 13 points in his delayed season debut, Mo Williams added 24 and LeBron James 14 as the Cleveland Cavaliers, back at full strength, rolled to a 90-79 win over the Charlotte Bobcats on Saturday night.

Williams scored 12 in the fourth quarter - all on 3-pointers - and James added nine assists and seven rebounds for the Cavs, now 2-2 after an 0-2 start.

West's turbulent offseason finally brought him back to the floor. After missing all eight preseason games and Cleveland's first three of the regular season to deal with personal issues, the troubled and valuable West was cleared by team doctors. He went 5 of 7 from the field in 24 minutes.

Vladimir Radmanovic scored 12 to lead Charlotte, which has never won in Cleveland.
