LeBRON CARRIES UNDERMANNED CAVS PAST RAPTORS

CLEVELAND» LeBron James scored 35 points and added 17 assists, his last setting up a late a 3-pointer by Kevin Love, and the Cavaliers ended Toronto’s ninegame road winning streak with a 132-129 victory over the Eastern Conference-leading Raptors on Wednesday night.

The Cavs were missing five rotational players and coach Tyronn Lue, who missed his second straight game because of health reasons.

But they had James, who earlier in the day said, “I’ll be available, so we got a chance.”

James didn’t have a turnover in 40 minutes and made three free throws in the final 7.8 seconds. He missed one with 3.9 seconds left, giving Toronto a final shot, but DeMar DeRozan’s 3-pointer — contested by James — was wide left.
