By the fourth quarter, neither could stop him. The Cavs' All Star forward scored 23 points and grabbed five rebounds in a 96-86 victory after they trailed by 15. James ripped open the sleeves on his jersey during the second quarter in the midst of a four of 11 shooting half.

Guard Eric Bledsoe led Phoenix with 19 points and center Alex Len added 16 points and eight rebounds. Forward Kosta Koufas had 16 points while forward James Anderson and guard Marco Belinelli had 15 each for the Kings. The Suns scored 32 points in the third quarter to take an 81-69 lead and finished the game with a 17-5 run midway through the fourth, with Len scoring the last seven to make it 105-84 with 4:46 left. - - Trail Blazers 108, Jazz 92 Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum guided the Portland Trail Blazers to a surprising 108-92 victory over the Utah Jazz at Vivint Arena. Lillard, who played for nearby Weber State, put on a show for his college state, scoring a season-high 35 points. It was his second consecutive 30-point game. McCollum complemented him nicely with 27 points. - - Warriors 112, Clippers 108 Stephen Curry's seventh three-pointer of the game with 1:08 remaining produced the 17th and final lead change of the night, and the Golden State Warriors outlasted the Los Angeles Clippers 112-108. Curry scored 13 consecutive Warriors points, including his straightaway three-pointer that turned a one-point Golden State deficit into a 108-106 lead. - - - (Editing by Greg Stutchbury/Peter Rutherford)
