LeBron shakes off sickness

CLEVELAND - LeBron James returned from sickness, and the Cavaliers felt a whole lot better.

Still not quite himself, James came back after missing one game with strep throat and scored 24 points, Kyrie Irving added 25 and Cleveland capped a solid February with a 102-95 win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday night.

James sat out Saturday's loss to Chicago - the Cavs fell to 0-4 this season without their superstar - and was listed as questionable before arriving at Quicken Loans Arena and working out. He looked fit from the start, delivering an early dunk and adding one in the fourth that he capped by screaming, "That's and one!" at MiIwaukee's John Henson, who fouled him.
