Mo Williams, playing for the first time since Jan. 15, hit a jumper with 6 seconds to go in regulation to give Cleveland a chance in overtime and Jamison's 3-pointer with 22 seconds left in the extra period gave the Cavaliers a four-point lead.

Jamison made 11-of-20 from the field and 9-of-13 from the foul line to spark a 50 percent shooting effort by the Cavaliers.

J.J. Hickson added 27 points with 14 rebounds and Williams had 15 after missing almost a month with a sprained hip.

The Clippers were led by 32 points from Blake Griffin.
