LeBron James handled the ball and the scoring
load, scoring a game-best 36 points with eight assists and seven rebounds, as
red-hot Cleveland used a second-half surge to bury Miami, 102-86, at Quicken
Loans Arena.
Shaquille O'Neal added 13 points and eight rebounds, while J.J. Hickson and
Daniel Gibson donated 12 points apiece for the Cavaliers, who have won 10
straight. Cleveland made 15 more free throws (29) than Miami attempted (14) in
the victory.
Dwyane Wade led Miami with 24 points and nine assists, while Michael Beasley
notched a double-double with 21 points and 12 rebounds for the Heat, who lost
for the second straight night thanks in part to a 13-point fourth period.
