LOS ANGELES: LeBron James posted his fourth triple-double in five games with 20 points, 12 rebounds and 15 assists as the streaking Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Washington Wizards 106-99 on Sunday (Monday in Manila). James’s three-pointer early in the fourth quarter put the Cavaliers in front for good and sparked an 8-0 run. Bradley Beal scored 27 points for the Wizards, who had won two in a row. Elsewhere, the resurgent Detroit Pistons equaled a franchise record with 17 three-pointers en route to 114-110 win over the shorthanded Orlando Magic. He was added to the starting lineup four games ago and his scoring boost has coincided with the Pistons’ latest win streak.
