CLEVELAND
LeBron James scored 29
points — 13 in the fourth quarter— and the Cleveland
Cavaliers edged the Indiana
Pacers 95-92 on Friday night
for their 15th straight win at
home.
As usual, James, who was
playing despite a head cold,
was at his best down the
stretch. He scored 11 straight
points in the fourth to give
Cleveland a 93-92 lead.
However, it was Cavs guard
Iman Shumpert who came up
with the biggest play, running
down a long rebound and then
knocking down two free throws
with a second left.
With the win, the Cavs
clinched a playoff spot — their
first since 2010 before James
left as a free agent for Miami.
George Hill scored 24 and
Roy Hibbert 20 for the Pacers,
who dropped their fourth
straight and damaged their
playoff hopes.
