LOS ANGELES, March 11 (UPI) -- LeBron James's 22nd career triple-double Tuesday carried Cleveland to an 87-83 come-from-behind win over the Los Angeles Clippers.
James tallied 32 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists and the Cavaliers rattled off their sixth win in seven outings.
Zydrunas Ilgauskas added 16 points and eight rebounds for the Cavs.
Zach Randolph's 20 points, 12 rebounds and six assists, and another 20 points from Al Thornton, were the best the Clippers could and they sank to their sixth straight loss.
LA started out with a 24-17 first-quarter lead that swelled to 48-34 by halftime, stood at 69-52 after three periods and stretched to 73-54 early in the fourth.
But then the Cavs started chipping away. Daniel Gibson's 3-pointer capped a 26-7 run to tie it up at 80 apiece with 1:50 left and James sank two free throws to give Cleveland a two-point lead with 1:24 to play.
Williams hit a trey with 6.6 seconds left and was good at the free throw line down the stretch to seal the victory.
