LeBron James: "Desperation" helped Cleveland Cavaliers

LeBron James has said that "a little desperation" helped the Cleveland Cavaliers come from behind to beat the Toronto Raptors last night.

The Eastern Conference leaders were ahead by 14 points late in the third quarter, but the four-time league MVP led the comeback to keep give Cleveland their eighth win in a row.

The forward told reporters: "I guess it was a little desperation. You get down on your home floor 13, 14 points, you go out there and control what you can control. That's how hard you play, how hard you defend. The defense got our offense going."

The Cavaliers will look to make it nine wins in a row when they travel to the Oklahoma City Thunder tomorrow.
