WHAT HAPPENED: Guard Mo Williams was pretty good in his season debut. He had 12 points and two assists in 25 minutes. He made 4 of 12 shots, 2 of 6 from the arc.

He made a few bad decisions and took a few questionable shots. But he played hard, aggressive and with energy.

It seemed like Ramon Sessions, who started the first three games, went into a shell on Tuesday. He had seven points and three assists.

Coach Byron Scott said Williams will start against Philadelphia on Friday. Maybe he'll provide the spark to end this three-game losing streak.

J.J. Hickson had a career-high 31 points against the Hawks, but he played fewer minutes than both Anderson Varejao and Jamario Moon. When a player is scoring like he was - he made 11 of 17 shots - one wants to milk every point he has. This team doesn't have enough scoring as it is.

Guard Daniel Gibson had an off night shooting, just 3 of 10. He did pull down a career-high seven rebounds.

There weren't enough playmakers against the Hawks. The Cavs managed just 15 assists, as Varejao and Sessions each had three assists.
