James and Williams lift Cavaliers on road

LeBron James had 34 points and 14 assists and the Cleveland Cavaliers held off the Portland Trail Blazers for a 104-98 victory on Wednesday night.

Mo Williams scored a season-high 33 points, including a career-high six three-point baskets for the Cavaliers, who made 11 of 19 three-pointers. Cleveland had lost four of its last five on the road, including a 105-88 loss to the Lakers on Monday.

Portland’s Greg Oden, who got into foul trouble, had 10 points and eight rebounds, short of the success he had Monday in a victory over Milwaukee, when he had a season-high 24 points and 15 rebounds.
