NBA ROUNDUP LeBron returns as Cavs top Kings Comment By The Associated Press MailTribune.com By The Associated Press Posted Jan. 31, 2015 @ 12:01 am By The Associated Press Posted Jan. 31, 2015 @ 12:01 am » Social News CLEVELAND — LeBron James met with Cavaliers team doctors Friday night to decide if he would play after missing a game because of a sprained right wrist. The decision was easy. "They said it was my call and obviously you guys know what my call is," James said after scoring 19 points in Cleveland's ninth straight win, a 101-90 victory over skidding Sacramento. James admitted his wrist isn't 100 percent, but he made five straight shots in the second half while Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving combined for 44 points for the streaking Cavaliers. "It was a little sore, obviously, being in live action, but it was good," James said. James was 7 for 16 from the field and had six turnovers in 33 minutes. "Tonight was a matter of him saying I feel good enough to go, I want to go and allowing him to play," Cavaliers coach David Blatt said. "And I'm glad we did because we needed him tonight." Love led Cleveland with 23 points, including 16 in the first quarter, while Irving, who scored an arena-record 55 points Wednesday, added 21. DeMarcus Cousins, who was named to the Western Conference All-Star team Friday, scored 21 points and had 13 rebounds, but it wasn't enough to prevent Sacramento from losing its eighth straight. JAZZ 110, WARRIORS 100: At Salt Lake City, Gordon Hayward had 26 points, 15 rebounds and six assists, helping the Jazz beat the Warriors for the first time this season. Hayward was 9 for 20 from the field and 7 for 8 at the line, showing no lingering effects from sinus congestion that held him out of practice Thursday. Trevor Booker had 17 points, and fellow reserve Trey Burke finished with 15. SUNS 99, BULLS 93: At Phoenix, Eric Bledsoe scored 23 points and Goran Dragic had 21, leading Phoenix to the win. Bledsoe's six-footer high off the glass put the Suns up 97-93. It came after a 7-0 Chicago run that cut the lead to 95-93 on Aaron Brooks' layup with 31.9 seconds to go. Derrick Rose scored 23 for the Bulls. PELICANS 108, CLIPPERS 103: At New Orleans, Eric Gordon scored a season-high 28 points, and the Pelicans snapped the Clippers' six-game winning streak. With power forward Anthony Davis sitting out because of his sore left groin, the Pelicans benefited from exceptional shooting from behind the 3-point line, hitting 13 of 25, and at the foul line, where they made 23 of 26 free throws, including their last 17. MAVERICKS 93, HEAT 72: At Miami, Charlie Villanueva scored 20 points, and the Mavericks went on an incredible 37-2 run in the second half. The win was the 600th for Dallas coach Rick Carlisle, and snapped a four-game losing streak. Dallas was down by 16 in the third quarter, down nine with about 3 minutes to go in the third and then turned the game completely around. RAPTORS 127, NETS 122, OT: At New York, DeMar DeRozan scored 26 points for Toronto, and Amir Johnson made the tiebreaking basket with 41 seconds left in overtime. Lou Williams finished with 25 points and Johnson had 24 for the Raptors, who led by 17 in the second half before their fifth consecutive victory turned into a difficult one. Johnson made the tying dunk with 12 seconds left in regulation, and scored inside after DeRozan's shot was blocked to make it 124-122, making him 10 for 11 from the field. ROCKETS 93, CELTICS 87: At Boston, Donatas Motiejunas scored 10 of his 26 points in the fourth quarter, leading Houston to its fourth straight win. Motiejunas also had 12 rebounds as the Rockets improved to 17-7 on the road. Houston led by 18 at halftime. 76ERS 103, TIMBERWOLVES 94: At Philadelphia, Michael Carter-Williams had a triple-double with 17 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, and Philadelphia got the win in a matchup of two of the league's worst teams. Luc Mbah a Moute had a team-high 18 points, and Nerlens Noel and Robert Covington chipped in 14 apiece for the 76ers, who won consecutive games for the third time this season while snapping a streak of 23 straight games without reaching 100 points.
