"D.J. Augustin was entering the University of Texas as Daniel Gibson was leaving, so the two never played together. Still, Gibson knows plenty about Augustin's game.

That was evident in the Cavaliers' 102-94 victory over the Charlotte Bobcats on Monday, when Gibson locked down Augustin, the Bobcats' biggest scoring weapon, in the second half.

Cavs coach Byron Scott has called Gibson his best perimeter defender for two years running. Monday he showed why. After Augustin wore out Kyrie Irving defensively for 19 points in the first half, Gibson limited him to one basket in the third quarter. Augustin finished with 24 points, but the Cavs' defense stiffened enough to finish the season's longest road trip at 3-4."
