Cavs stay perfect at home

CLEVELAND -- Not even Dwyane Wade can humble the Cavaliers at home.

LeBron James scored 33 points -- four more than good buddy Wade, the NBA's leading scorer -- and Cleveland remained the league's only unbeaten team on its own floor with a 93-86 win over the Miami Heat on Sunday night.

For the second straight game, the Cavaliers had to come back late at Quicken Loans Arena to extend their home winning streak, which is now at 16 straight. Cleveland was down by nine points going into the fourth and trailed by eight before going on an 18-2 run and outscoring Miami 26-11 over the final eight minutes.

Mo Williams scored 20 before fouling out and Ben Wallace had 14 rebounds for the Cavs (26-4), who won their sixth straight.

The Heat had their winning streak stopped at four.

Nuggets 117, Knicks 110

NEW YORK -- Carmelo Anthony scored 32 points after missing three games with a bruised right elbow, leading Denver over the defenseless Knicks.

The Nuggets blew the double-digit lead they seized by making 15 of 20 shots in the second quarter, but recovered behind Anthony's flawless fourth and sent the Knicks to their sixth straight loss.

J.R. Smith added 16 points and Chauncey Billups 14 for the Nuggets, who shot 57 percent from the field in the opener of a four-game road trip.

Nate Robinson scored 20 points and David Lee had 19 for the Knicks, who have yielded an average of 115.5 points during their skid. They came in allowing teams to shoot 48.3 percent, highest in the NBA.

It was only the third 30-point game this season for Anthony, who has been bothered by the elbow since he was originally hurt in a victory over Houston on Nov. 30.
