Cleveland Cavaliers head coach David Blatt has admitted that his side needed a huge effort from forward LeBron James to guide them to a comeback victory over the Orlando Magic.

The Cavaliers trailed 75-71 going into the fourth quarter, but James produced a clutch display to score 14 of his 29 points in the final quarter and power his side to the 98-89 win in Orlando.

"LeBron is the best player in the world. He does what he does and obviously we needed it," Blatt told reporters. "What he did tonight was significant. It lifted us."

Blatt's side are 18-11 in their season following their win over the Magic.
