CLEVELAND (AP) — Playing against LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers is a tough assignment anytime.
For Golden State, the task was even tougher Tuesday night.
The Warriors, ravaged by injuries and illness, dressed the league minimum eight players against the Cavaliers, including newly acquired guard Raja Bell, who is expected to have wrist surgery next week. Bell and Vladimir Radmanovic were acquired from Charlotte on Monday for Stephen Jackson and Acie Law.
Warriors coach Don Nelson said Bell only would be used in an emergency.
In addition to Bell and Radmanovic, who started his first game with his new team, Monta Ellis, Stephen Curry, Mikki Moore, Anthony Morrow, Anthony Randolph and Corey Maggette also dressed.
