LeBron James leads Cavaliers past Hawks
CLEVELAND -- LeBron James scored 27 points and Cleveland entered an elite fraternity with its 60th win by scoring 14 straight points in the fourth quarter to pull away and beat Atlanta, 93-88.
The Cavaliers became the ninth team to post successive 60-win seasons.
“Our goals are huge much bigger than winning 60 games or clinching home court or anything like that,” James said. “But you can’t take something like that for granted. When those goals happen, you embrace it.”
Mo Williams scored 24 and J.J. Hickson added a career-high 16 rebounds for the Cavaliers.
The Hawks shot nine for 22 in the fourth quarter.
