AKRON, Ohio (AP) _ Andre Miller made four free throws in the final 1:09 to help Cleveland defeat the New Jersey Nets 95-90 Wednesday night in Randy Wittman's debut as Cavaliers coach.

Miller, the eighth overall pick in the 1999 draft, made two free throws with 1:09 left to put Cleveland ahead 91-89 and sank two more with 53 seconds remaining to give the Cavaliers a four-point lead in the exhibition game.

Stephon Marbury led New Jersey with 30 points.
