Cavs finish 39-2 at home with 111-110 OT win over 76ers

LeBron James watched as the Cleveland Cavaliers couldn't quite make history.

With their superstar, all-star guard Mo Williams and other regulars resting for the playoffs, Cleveland lost for just the second time on their home floor this season, 111-110 in overtime Wednesday night to the Philadelphia 76ers.

That left the Cavs at 39 home wins - 1 shy of tying the 1985-86 Boston Celtics' all-time home record of 40-1.

Andre Miller scored 30 points and Andre Iguodala 24 for the Sixers, who snapped a six-game losing streak. Philadelphia earned the No. 6 spot in the Eastern Conference playoffs, where it will meet the Orlando Magic.

Daniel Gibson scored 28 for the Cavaliers, the No. 1 overall seed. Cleveland will play Detroit in the first round.

Mavericks 95, Rockets 84: Jason Kidd notched a triple-double and Jason Terry was superb in the fourth quarter, powering host Dallas to a victory over Houston that started the dominoes tumbling in the Western Conference playoff chase.

The teams left the court not knowing their seeds, with the New Orleans-San Antonio game in overtime. The Spurs pulled it out, giving them the No. 3 seed and securing No. 6 for Dallas - which means those teams will meet in the first round. It'll be their first postseason matchup since a memorable seven-game series in 2006, which the Mavs won on their way to the NBA Finals.
