THE Cleveland Cavaliers matched their franchise record by winning their 13th straight NBA game with a 115-106 victory over the Orlando Magic yesterday.
It was a clash of the two teams that fought out last season's Eastern Conference finals, and which are on top of the East again this year, but Cleveland has won both head-to-head meetings.
LeBron James had 32 points and 13 assists, again closing out another opponent late in the game as he scored seven points in the final three minutes. Orlando went scoreless for five minutes in the fourth as Cleveland turned a two-point deficit into a 105-98 lead.
The anticipated matchup between Shaquille O'Neal and Dwight Howard never really materialized because both were in foul trouble throughout. Fouls were a problem for both teams as they combined for 43 fouls and 56 free throws.
Spurs 111, Nuggets 92
In Denver, San Antonio never trailed and comfortably beat the bad-shooting Denver Nuggets.
George Hill scored 17 points after starting in place of an injured Tony Parker, while DeJuan Blair also scored 17 points for San Antonio, which snapped a three-game losing streak to Denver dating to last season.
The Spurs, who outshot the Nuggets 53.2 percent to 39.2, were missing Parker, who was sidelined with a left hip flexor strain suffered three days ago during a loss to the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Nuggets were missing their best defensive player, Kenyon Martin, who sat out a second consecutive game because of tendinitis in his left knee.
Nene had 20 points for the Nuggets, who lost for only the fourth time in 28 home games this season.
