LOS ANGELES - LeBron James scored 34 points and the Cleveland Cavaliers held on to beat Chicago 115-112 on Thursday, ending the Bulls' seven-game winning streak.
Cleveland, playing its last game before a highly anticipated NBA Finals rematch with the Golden State Warriors on Christmas Day, had to make do without ailing coach Tyronn Lue on the bench and without injured shooting guard JR Smith on the floor.
But in a contest in which the lead changed hands 26 times, James scored 11 points in the fourth quarter and the Cavaliers held on for a 12th straight home win.
