CLEVELAND(AP) -- The Cavaliers clinched their second straight
outright Central Division championship Wednesday night - and Mo
Williams went home disappointed.

LeBron James had 32 points, nine rebounds and nine assists in
Cleveland's 99-94 victory over the Indiana Pacers. With the win,
Cleveland (54-15) became the first team this season to clinch a
division title.

Williams spent last summer and the early part of this season
trying to cherish the little things along Cleveland's bid to win
an NBA championship. The first milestone passed by Wednesday
without him realizing it.

"We have to cherish these moments and celebrate these moments,"
Williams said. "Our goal (last year) was so focused on a
championship, we looked past clinching the division, clinching
the playoffs and clinching home-court advantage. All that makes
the main goal that much sweeter.

"That's kind of funny that we didn't come in here and
acknowledge it. I'm kind of disappointed in that."

James made sure that was the only reason to go home
disappointed, taking over late after Indiana cut an 18-point
lead in the fourth quarter to one. James had six points, two
blocks, two steals and an assist in the final 4 minutes,
including a nifty dunk behind his head after catching an
alley-oop pass from Anderson Varejao. James fell a rebound and
an assist shy of his second triple-double in two nights.

"That's all phases of my game in a couple possessions," James
said. "That solidifies who I am on both sides of the floor."

Troy Murphy had 19 points and 15 rebounds - but just four points
and five rebounds in the second half for the last-place Pacers,
who were trying to win consecutive games for the first time
since Feb. 2-5. Roy Hibbert added 20 points for Indiana, which
was without leading scorer Danny Granger.

Granger, averaging 23.1 points a game, did not make the trip
after spending the night in an Indianapolis hospital Tuesday. He
took an inadvertent elbow to his upper right cheek in the final
minute Tuesday night against Charlotte. CT scans on his head and
neck found no problems.

Coach Jim O'Brien is hopeful Granger can return quickly,
particularly because Indiana's injury list is growing. T.J. Ford
has missed the last three games with a sore groin, Tyler
Hansbrough has missed two months with an inner ear infection and
Jeff Foster is out for the season following back surgery.

The Pacers have lost 13 of their last 17, including nine
straight on the road. They have played Cleveland and Milwaukee,
the top two teams in the division, down to the final minutes
this week before falling.

"The last two road games, we've given ourselves a chance to win
in the fourth quarter and came up short against good teams,"
O'Brien said. "We've won our last three home games, so things
are starting to pick up for us."

James had 14 points and seven rebounds in the third quarter as
Cleveland used a 16-2 run to start the second half and open a
66-50 lead. But the Pacers fought back, pulling within a point
on a basket by Earl Watson with 4:52 left.

James refused to let the Pacers take the lead, blocking Brandon
Rush's shot off the backboard on Indiana's next possession.

"It was goaltending. I swear to God it was goaltending," Rush
said, laughing. "I didn't hear anybody say that he was behind
me, but I knew he was coming."

The Cavaliers converted on a basket in transition by Varejao and
James scored on Cleveland's next two possessions - the dunk
behind his head and a fadeway jumper to put Cleveland up 94-87.
Then James got A.J. Price with another block off the backboard
in the final minute and Cleveland leading, 99-93, to seal the
victory.

"I try to send a little message," James said. "Anytime you go to
the hole, you have to be looking for me."
