Cavaliers 105, Raptors 101: LeBron James scored 35 points as host Cleveland rallied for its eighth straight win.

Dion Waiters had 18 points off the bench and Kevin Love finished with 17 points and nine rebounds for the Cavaliers, who trailed by as many as 14 in the second half. Kyrie Irving chipped in 13 points and 10 assists as Cleveland topped Toronto for the second time in five days.

Jonas Valanciunas and Terrence Ross had 18 points apiece to lead the Raptors, who shot 51.2 percent from the floor and made all 10 of their free throws. Kyle Lowry chipped in 16 points and a season-high 14 assists but was called for an intentional foul in the closing seconds to help the Cavaliers finish off the comeback.

The Raptors closed the first quarter on a 20-10 run to take a seven-point lead and went up 59-46 on Amir Johnson's layup with 2:42 left in the first half. The margin was eight points at the break before Ross and Lowry had 3-pointers early in the third to push it out to 73-59 and force Cleveland to call timeout.

James buried a 3-pointer out of the timeout to spark a surge that pulled the hosts within 88-81 entering the fourth and had a runner to slice the gap to 97-92 midway through the fourth before Love tied it with five straight points moments later. Irving's steal with just over a minute left led to a tiebreaking 3-pointer by James with 48.1 seconds remaining, and Lowry's intentional foul helped Cleveland close it out at the line.
