Cavaliers "Clip" L.A. En Route to 50th win

The Cleveland Cavaliers showed their championship mentality with an impressive come from behind win Tuesday night against the L.A. Clippers. The Cavs trailed by 19 points with under 11 minutes left in the fourth quarter but ended the game on a 33-10 run to get their 50th win of the season. LeBron James recorded his second straight triple-double, 22nd of his career, with 32 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists. It all came to a finish when Mo Williams hit a go-ahead 3-pointer with 6.6 seconds to play to put Cleveland up 85-83. The Cavaliers finshed up the game with a 87-83 victory. "One thing about Mo, he never thinks about the last shot he missed or the last one he made. He gets right back," James said. "He missed shot after shot after shot, but you know if he gets a good look at it in crunch time, he's going to nail it." This win puts Cleveland at 50-13 tying the league's best record with the Los Angeles Lakers, but the Lakers hold the tie breaker beating the Cavs both times they played. The Cavaliers also hold a 1 1/2 game lead over Boston for the top spot in the east.
