CLEVELAND (AP) -- Pat Riley, meet LeBron James.

James helped spoil an otherwise perfect week for the returning

Miami coach, scoring 41 points and taking over late to give the

Cleveland Cavaliers a 115-107 victory over Riley and the Heat on

Saturday night.

Riley, coaching against James for the first time, was impressed.

"A guy like that gets it going, what are you going to do?"

Riley said. "I've seen too many players like him. At times, you're

helpless."

Donyell Marshall put up season highs of 25 points and 13

rebounds and Larry Hughes scored 20 points, but it was James' 13

straight points in the fourth quarter that held off the Heat's

comeback.

Dwyane Wade led the Heat with 33 points and Shaquille O'Neal

tied a season-low with 10.

Miami had won four straight, including three with Riley after

Stan Van Gundy resigned Monday. Cleveland has won two straight

after dropping seven of nine.

"This is a very big win because it's against an Eastern

Conference powerhouse," James said. "We caught them on the end of

a back to back, but they can win a game at any time."

The Heat looked sluggish early, playing their fourth road game

in five nights.

"We would have liked to come away 4-0, but they had more energy

than we did and they hit a lot of shots," O'Neal said.

O'Neal got into foul trouble and the Cavaliers led by 22 late in

the third quarter.

But Miami, playing with its reserves on the floor, went on a

14-0 run to pull to 95-87 with 8:09 left on strong inside play from

Alonzo Mourning and Antoine Walker.

"They're a great team and they hadn't made a run all night. We

knew they would," James said. "It was time for me to wake up."

James took control, scoring Cleveland's next 13 points -- a layup

high off the glass, three jumpers, a pair of free throws and a

3-pointer -- as the Cavs made it 108-98 with 3:26 to go.

"Once I start feeling like that, I feel unstoppable," James

said.

Riley didn't have an answer for James, who was born two years

after the coach won his first NBA title in his first season with

the Los Angeles Lakers in 1982.

"He's like a freight train with Dwyane Wade's speed," Riley

said.

Wade's layup made it 111-107 with 43.7 seconds left. But he

missed a 3-pointer with 8 seconds remaining and the Cavaliers made

enough free throws to hold off Miami.

Wade praised Miami's bench for getting them back in it, but

acknowledged the Heat overall didn't have enough intensity on

defense.

James added 10 assists, five rebounds and was 12-of-13 from the

foul line.

"The whole game he was terrific," Cavaliers coach Mike Brown

said. "Toward the end, he put us on his back like many times

before and he carried us. And he even carried me, if I called a

play he executed it."

Marshall scored 14 points in the third quarter, capped by a

3-pointer with under a minute left for Cleveland's biggest lead,

93-71.

Mourning scored 14 points and Walker 10 points and seven

assists.

The Cavs' Drew Gooden sprained his left ankle when he came down

on O'Neal's foot late in the first half. He had to be helped off

the floor and did not return.

After the game, Gooden said he reaggravated an old injury, but

did not expect to miss significant time.

Cleveland's Zydrunas Ilgauskas lay sprawled on the floor his

hands over his head with 55.7 seconds left after colliding with

Wade's shoulder on a loose ball for his sixth foul. A few minutes

later Ilgauskas walked off the court with a large knot over his

right eye.

Hughes scored 19 of his 20 points in the first half. He made

back to back 3-pointers, then stole a pass and ran the length of

the court to give Cleveland a 56-38 lead with 1:34 left.Game notes
