LeBron James tied a season high with 31 points, including 17 to spark a fourth-quarter comeback and the Cleveland Cavaliers won their seventh straight, 118-114, over the Utah Jazz on Tuesday. Cleveland trailed, 95-86, midway through the fourth quarter, but James took over and brought the Quicken Loans Arena crowd to its feet with one of his trademark plays. With the Cavaliers trailing, 95-91, James stole the ball near midcourt and headed to the basket. Rodney Hood wrapped his arms around James, but the four-time MVP made a layup anyway and flexed his bicep as Hood was called for the foul. James made the foul shot and Cleveland followed with a 10-0 run to go ahead, 104-98. Alec Burks led Utah with 24 points while Gordon Hayward and Derrick Favors each added 17.
