James provides spark as Cavaliers turn back Jazz's surge

CLEVELAND, Ohio (Reuters) - LeBron James helped Cleveland resist a late surge by the Utah Jazz by scoring the Cavaliers' final eight points in a 107-103 victory Saturday.

James, who finished with 21 points, a game-high nine assists and six rebounds, personally outscored the Jazz 8-4 in the final 52 seconds to spark Cleveland to its fourth consecutive victory.

Utah had led briefly at 101-100 before James' three-point play with 28 seconds remaining regained the lead for Cleveland.

Guard Mo Williams scored 21 points for the Cavaliers (7-3) while forward J.J. Hickson added 20 as six Cavaliers scored in double figures.

Carlos Boozer led Utah (4-6) with 25 points and 12 rebounds, while guard Eric Maynor scored 24 points.
