Cavaliers beat Magic

The Cleveland Cavaliers matched their franchise record by winning their 13th straight NBA game with a 115-106 victory over the Orlando Magic last night.



It was a clash of the two teams that fought out last season\'s Eastern Conference finals, and which are on top of the East again this year, but Cleveland have won both head-to-head meetings.



LeBron James had 32 points and 13 assists, again closing out another opponent late in the game as he scored seven points in the final three minutes.



The anticipated matchup between Shaquille O\'Neal and Dwight Howard never really materialised because both were in foul trouble throughout.



In Denver, San Antonio Spurs never trailed and comfortably beat the bad-shooting Denver Nuggets 111-92.
