AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — LeBron James could get used to being a cheerleader.

Especially when the Cavaliers can take care of business with him on the bench.

James scored 33 points and got some timely help from Mo Williams and Daniel Gibson in Cleveland's 90-80 win over the Detroit Pistons on Sunday.

Williams, who has become James' best sidekick on the perimeter, scored 22 points and Gibson scored all seven of his points in the fourth.

"It's been different this season because we have guys who can control the offense and control the defense," James said. "There's not been a time this season when I felt pressure to not come off the floor.

"I know these guys can take care of things."

With James resting, Williams and Gibson outscored Detroit by themselves during a 15-2 run that gave the Cavs a 73-68 lead early in the fourth quarter.

James shouted, "C'mon Mo! C'mon Mo!" from the scorer's table during the final possession of the winning surge, then celebrated with Williams after his jumper led to Detroit calling a timeout.

The 24-year-old phenom sealed the victory on a driving layup, an assist, 3-pointer and free throw to put the Cavs ahead by nine with 2Z\x minutes left.

The Cavs have won six of their last seven.
