AUBURN HILLS, Michigan (Ticker) -- Even with LeBron James on the
bench, the Cleveland Cavaliers are a dangerous team on the road.

Mo Williams and Daniel Gibson combined for 19 fourth-quarter
points as the Cavaliers continued the home struggles for the
Detroit Pistons with Sunday's 90-80 victory.

James led the way with 33 points and eight assists for
Cleveland, which won for the sixth time in its last seven games.

However, James was on the bench at the start of the fourth, when
the Cavaliers faced their largest deficit of the game at 66-58.
That hole did not last long as Cleveland put together a 15-2 run
to start the final quarter.

Gibson and Williams combined for all of the points during the
spurt, with Gibson scoring the first seven before Williams took
over.

"It was simple. Gib (Gibson) came out in the fourth and hit
three straight baskets, Mo (Williams) came back with three
straight baskets," James said. "It was uplifting to see those
guys take control of the game like that. We needed it. Those
guys came through for us."

"Regardless of who was on the court, we got outscored," Detroit
coach Michael Curry said. "The first three quarters,
defensively, we had done the job, exactly what we wanted to do.
Then we got to the fourth, and for whatever reason, we made too
many mistakes."

With its fourth win in its last five road games, Cleveland
improved to 15-9 away from home - the fourth-best mark in the
Eastern Conference.

"Any win is special, especially on the road," James said. "You
always try to establish that road presence. We know our rivalry
with these guys, so it adds a little fire to the game when we
play them."

Meanwhile, Detroit had a disappointing stretch at home
continued, as it lost at the Palace of Auburn Hills for the
fourth straight time. It is the Pistons' longest losing streak
here in eight years.

"We've been right in the games against two of the toughest teams
in the East," Detroit guard Allen Iverson said. "Just mistakes
here and there got us into trouble. We had control of the games
for three quarters and we let it get away from us.

"If we were coming in here and getting blown out it would be a
different story. I feel good and I still feel good about our
chances."

Detroit appeared on the way to ending that slump, as Iverson
converted a driving layup twice in the closing 41 seconds to
give his team the eight-point lead going into the fourth.

Gibson, who had failed to score through the first three
quarters, opened the fourth with a 3-pointer and followed with a
19-foot jumper. After a turnover by Iverson, Gibson completed a
fast-break layup to close the Cavaliers within 66-65 with just
79 seconds expired.

Richard Hamilton hit a running jumper for the Pistons, but
Williams then took over, giving the Cavaliers a lead it would
not relinquish.

"Gibson was terrific at the start of the fourth quarter,"
Cleveland coach Mike Brown said. "Not only did he hit shots but
he came up with a couple of long rebounds and a couple of
steals. He really put his nose in there.

"Mo (Williams) was amazing, too. I just sit back and watch him.
We know sooner or later he's going to turn it on."

Williams, who finished with 22 points, hit a jumper 2:07 in and
converted a pair of free throws that gave Cleveland a 69-68 lead
with 9:22 left. He connected on two more jumpers to extend it
to 73-68 with 7:28 to play.

"The game is not over until 48 minutes," Williams said. "Going
into the fourth quarter I think we felt that we didn't close out
the third like we wanted to, so we started barking in the huddle
to be aggressive. I think in the third quarter, we deferred too
much to LeBron. Guys were passing up shots. Gib (Gibson) did a
great job of coming out aggressive in the fourth quarter."

Although James returned to the game shortly thereafter, Detroit
managed to close within 77-76 on Tayshaun Prince's turnaround
shot in the lane with 4:09 remaining.

Yet, that would be the closest that the Pistons would get, as
James helped put them away.

On Cleveland's next possession, James drove down the left side
of the lane before kicking out to Zydrunas Ilgauskas in the
corner for a 3-pointer and an 80-76 edge with 3:47 left.

Williams then knocked the ball away from Iverson before James
knocked down his third basket from the arc to push the lead to
seven points.

James, who finished 12-of-25 from the field, also had a driving
layup with 65 seconds left that made it 88-76, capping an 11-0
run.

Iverson had 22 points and Hamilton 16 for Detroit, which shot 35
percent (6-of-17) in the fourth.
