MIAMI, Nov. 12 (UPI) -- LeBron James scored 32 points and hit a key 3-pointer down the stretch Thursday, leading Cleveland to a 109-102 victory over Miami.

The Cavaliers overcame a big game from Dwyane Wade to win for the sixth time in seven outings.

Miami, which had won its previous three games, rallied from an 11-point deficit in the fourth period to get within 103-99 on a jumper by Wade.

James then hit his 3-point shot with 2:48 to play and Miami did not threaten again. Wade scored 36 points after two 40-point efforts within the past week.

Mo Williams had his second straight big game, delivering 25 points after scoring 28 against Orlando Wednesday. Shaquille O'Neal added 14.

The Cavaliers made half their 18 shots from 3-point range.
