CLEVELAND -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.

Apparently unlike the first commentor, I`m glad Delonte "Wild" West is back, and glad he has teammates who can play the wing, so he can concentrate on the transition to playing the point. Only James has played consistently well in the regular season. J J Hickson and Shaq O`Neal played well in the preseason, but J J was benched, hasn`t gotten many minutes, Varajao has started, and it has so far hurt the team on both ends of the court. Against Gasol, if he continues to play forward, like he did in preseason, when he gets back from injury, neither Varajao nor Hickson will be big enough, probably, and Ilgauskas will not be nearly fast enough if Shaq plays Bynum, so maybe Shaq will play Gasol and Ilgauskas will play Bynum, which would still not be a quick young line up, though Shaq was an all star last season, and Ilguaskas has been an all star, and El Zyd has a mid range shot, which Varajao, James, and O`Neal don`t.
