PHILADELPHIA, April 10 (UPI) -- A 27-point performance by LeBron James Friday brought Cleveland a 102-92 win over Philadelphia that clinched the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference.

Cleveland made 12-of-23 shots from 3-point range.

Philadelphia, which has clinched a playoff berth and went into the evening holding down the sixth seed in the East, was led by 26 points from Andre Iguodala.
