CLEVELAND (AP) — LeBron James struggled before extending his record double-digit scoring streak to 868 games and the Cavaliers had a rough time with Dallas before putting away the lottery-bound Mavericks 98-87.
James broke Michael Jordan’s NBA mark for consecutive games with at least 10 points on Friday night but didn’t reach 10 until 7:59 remained Sunday.
He finished just 5 of 21 from the field but made a pair of 3-pointers as the Cavs finally pulled away with a 15-2 run in the fourth quarter.
