SACRAMENTO, March 14 (UPI) -- LeBron James brought Cleveland from behind with a 51-point show Friday night and the Cavaliers had to go to overtime before edging Sacramento 126-123.
It was the third 50-point game of the season for James and the Cavaliers needed it to escape with a win against the worst team in the Western Conference.
Cleveland came from nine points down with 3:30 left in regulation and the Cavaliers tied it at 116-116 on a free throw by James with 24 seconds remaining. James then blocked a game-winning attempt by Kevin Martin just before the fourth-quarter buzzer.
Mo Williams made two free throws for Cleveland with 4 seconds left in overtime for a three-point lead and Will Solomon missed a long-range shot for Sacramento as time ran out.
Despite his great night, James failed to become the first player in almost 20 years to record four straight triple-doubles. James had only four rebounds and nine assists against the Kings.
Martin scored 34 to lead Sacramento, which was coming off just its fourth win in its last 24 games.
