CLEVELAND – LeBron James’ runner in the lane with one second left allowed the Cleveland Cavaliers to hold on for a 90-88 win over the Brooklyn Nets.
James and Kevin Love each scored 26 points and the Cavs remained unbeaten at home (9-0), but it didn’t come easy against a struggling Nets team.
Jarrett Jack’s desperation heave at the buzzer from well beyond half court hit the back of the rim. Brook Lopez scored 22 points and grabbed nine rebounds and Joe Johnson had 17 points for the Nets, who have lost four of their last five.
