Radmanovic played 34 minutes in his first game with Golden State, scoring 11 points and grabbing five rebounds.

Warriors forward Kelenna Azubuike will have surgery Wednesday for a torn patellar tendon in his left knee and is lost for the season. Guard C.J. Watson is out indefinitely after testing positive for the H1N1 virus.

That left Golden State with two reserves Tuesday - Maggette and Anthony Randolph, who managed to outscore the Cleveland bench, 32-23.

"We were right there," Warriors coach Don Nelson said. "I was happy with the way we played with kind of a pickup team. We were undermanned. The guys played together. I have no complaints about the game at all."

It doesn't get any easier for the Warriors, who play at Boston on Wednesday.

"I don't know what you can do," Nelson said. "You just play and see what happens. Full roster or not, it was going to be a tough go coming into these next two games. We realized that."

Notes

The 114 points were a season high for the Cavaliers ... James said before the game he believes he could have been a star in the NFL, too. "If I put all my time and commitment into it, if I dedicated myself to the game of football, I could be really good," he said. "No matter what team I was on."
