CLEVELAND: LeBron James had 31 points and 12 assists, J.J. Hickson added a career-high 21 points and the Cleveland Cavaliers held off a gutsy effort by the short-handed Golden State Warriors, winning 114-108 on Tuesday night.

Injuries and illness left Golden State with seven healthy bodies, although the Cavaliers had their own injury concerns.

Jamario Moon left in the third quarter with a sprained left ankle, and Shaquille O'Neal and Anderson Varejao were both inactive for Cleveland. Varejao was scratched with a hip contusion and O'Neal missed his second straight game with a strained shoulder. Coach Mike Brown doesn't expect either player back for Wednesday's game at Washington.
