Cleveland, OH (SportsNetwork. Grant Hill Jersey .com) - LeBron James returned to the Cavaliers lineup and scored 19 points, and Cleveland used balanced scoring to top the Sacramento Kings 101-90, extending its season-long winning streak. Kevin Love had 23 points and 10 rebounds and Kyrie Irving scored 21 points with six assists. Irving carried the load offensively in Clevelands win over Portland on Wednesday, netting a career-high 55 of the teams 99 points. James, who missed that game with a wrist injury, also contributed seven assists and four steals, and J.R. Smith added 16 points. The Cavs have ripped off nine straight wins since a six-game skid. DeMarcus Cousins led Sacramento with 21 points and 13 rebounds just hours after it was announced that he would make his first appearance in the All-Star game. Cousins will replace injured Lakers star Kobe Bryant, who had season- ending shoulder surgery. Rudy Gay chipped in 20 points in Sacramentos eight straight setback. Ben McLemores 3-pointer highlighted a 7-0 Sacramento run midway through the first to tie the game at 16. From there, Cleveland scored eight unanswered points and 14 of the next 16, taking a 30-20 lead into the second quarter. The spread reached 16 late in the second, but Cousins hit a pair of free throws and Darren Collison beat the buzzer with a deep 3 to cut it to 55-44 at the half. Irving connected on all four of his shots in the third for 10 points to help Cleveland push its lead to 86-65. After Sacramento opened the fourth on a 6-2 run, James brought the crowd back to life with a highlight-reel transition layup, going behind his back after picking up his dribble with Ramon Sessions closely contesting.

The puck is kind of following me around a little bit, playing confident and line mates are making great plays for me, said Bozak. Hopefully it can keep going for a bit.The Leafs knew they had the Capitals on the tail end of a three-game, four night stretch and wanted to pounce early.Toronto did just that, scoring twice on its first six shots in the first period and two more times on its first six shots of the second period.I think tonight we were fortunate that we were playing a team that was coming off a back-to-back and we were able to score the first goal, said coach Randy Carlyle. We jumped on a hockey club.Thats what youre supposed to do when youre in your own building when you get a team on the back end of a back-to-back.Morgan Rielly and Cody Franson both scored on Torontos first six shots, sending Capitals starter Justin Peters to the bench for the second period.Braden Holtby didnt fair much better in relief, allowing Bozak to score on the first shot he faced. David Clarkson then scored his seventh of the season on just the sixth shot of the second period.Bozak added his second of the night at 15:36 of the second while Joffrey Lupul had the other goal for the Leafs late in the third.Peters returned for the third and made eight saves while Holtby was saddled with the loss after making nine saves.Youre trying to change the momentum after the first, thats why the goalie change (happened), said coach Barry Trotz. First shift, we turn it over and it ends up in the net. (Holtby) couldnt do anything one that one.But those are critical moments. Things werent going our way. We didnt have a bad first period in here.Troy Brouwer and Tom Wilson had the Washington (10-9-4) goals.Before the game, the Leafs honoured former player, head coach and general manager Pat Quinn, who died at age 71 on Sunday after a long battle with an illness.

The power-play goal tied Bozak with Kessel for the team-lead.Wilson and Lupul traded goals in the third.Torontos power play, which was 1-for-23 entering Saturdays game, went 3-for-4.It was nice to see that our power play finally came to life and create some offence in the hockey game for us, said Carlyle. I thought we played half the game the way we wanted and then we kind of got away from our game, but how do you critique a 6-2 win?Leo Komarov took an elbow to the head from Alex Ovechkin early in the first minute of the third period and did not return.Carlyle was asked if Komarov went through concussion protocol following the hit.Well he didnt feel good so thats what we did, said Carlyle. We held him out and hes going to be having further evaluation. He seems fine now, but they all seem to be fine.As for the hit, Carlyle said, I thought it was kind of oops I hit you on purpose.During a fight with Wilson late in the third period, Torontos Korbinian Holzer struck linesman Steve Miller with a punch while linesman Greg Devorski was trying to restrain him.That was not intentional— I had my jersey in my face. I just threw a punch and I accidentally got the linesman, said Holzer of the incident. Im really sorry for that and I hope hes fine, If theres a chance, Id like to go by apologize.The Leaf defenceman and Wilson each received five minutes for fighting and 10 minute misconducts.Holzer is hoping the league understands his strike on Miller was accidental and that there will be no repercussions for his actions. I hope they see that was not intentional, he said. Im not a guy that goes after the linesman or the referees in general. Im sorry for that and I hope hes fine.The Leafs continue their season-high five game home stand on Tuesday when the Dallas Stars visit.Notes: In addition to Quinn the Leafs paid tribute to Murray Oliver with a moment of silence pre-game.
