CLEVELAND, Feb. 3 (UPI) -- LeBron James had 33 points Tuesday, helping Cleveland set a franchise record for straight home wins with a 101-83 victory over Toronto.

The Cavaliers improved to 23-0 at home this season, breaking the previous 22-0 mark set during the 1988-89 campaign. Cleveland also became the first team to win at least its first 23 home games in a season since the Chicago Bulls (37 games) and the Orlando Magic (33 games) in the 1995-96 season.

Daniel Gibson added 18 points, and Mo Williams had 16 points and nine assists for the Cavaliers, who have won seven of eight overall.

Chris Bosh had 29 points and Jermaine O'Neal 20 points for the Raptors, who suffered their third straight loss.
