yahoo news: CLEVELAND - LeBron James scored 33 points and barely missed a triple-double as the Cleveland Cavaliers beat Boston for the second time this season, downing the Celtics 114-113 on Tuesday night.
James added 12 assists, nine rebounds and five steals to pace the Cavaliers, who improved to 15-4 since Dec. 25 and handed the NBA’s best road team just its fifth loss away from home. Cleveland also beat the Celtics in overtime on Nov. 27.
For a change, James, who leads the league in fourth-quarter scoring, didn’t have to do it all by himself down the stretch.
Zydrunas Ilgauskas added 21 points, Larry Hughes had 18 and seldom-used Ira Newble had 15 for Cleveland. Also, guard Daniel Gibson made a big steal in the final minute to help the Cavs hang on.
