LeBron James helps Miami Heat past Cleveland Cavaliers

James heads Heat wave

LeBron James notched 20 points for the Miami Heat to help them pull away from the Cleveland Cavaliers with a 114-107 win at the American Airlines Arena on Saturday.

James was also joined by Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, who scored 20 points as well, to add some light to a run that has seen them lose three times in their last five matches.

At one point it had looked as if the Cavaliers were about to edge their way back into the game, thanks to a number of resurgent plays by Tristan Thompson, Dion Waiters and Anderson Varejao, but their efforts were not enough to keep the hosts from running away with a deserved victory.

The win sees the Heat sitting top of the Southeast Division, with Miami welcoming Utah Jazz in their next NBA game on Monday.
