CHICAGO James leads Cavs past Bulls in front of his hero, Jordan

While Michael Jordan watched, LeBron James displayed his talent.
CHICAGO (AP) -- LeBron James did the No. 23 proud in his idol's house.
With Michael Jordan watching from a skybox, James scored a game-high 32 points and had a career-high 10 assists Saturday night to lead the Cleveland Cavaliers to their second straight road win, a 95-87 victory over the Chicago Bulls.
It was James' third double-double of the season, his first since Nov. 29. He was 11-of-22 from the floor, and was 10-of-12 from the line. He also had six rebounds, two steals and two blocks while turning the ball over four times.
The loss spoiled the Bulls' homecoming party. Jordan attended his second game of the year, watching in a suite with former teammates Charles Oakley and Will Perdue. Jay Williams also was at the game, his first since the devastating June motorcycle accident that's threatened his career. Williams, who is still on crutches and is undergoing rehabilitation at Duke, sat behind his old teammates on the floor.
The cheering
"It'll be good to hear the cheers of the Chicago fans again," he said earlier Saturday. "But, hopefully, I can hear the cheers after I make a basket on the court sometime soon."
The current Bulls didn't give their fans much to cheer. Leading 71-65 going into the fourth quarter, they went almost 5 1/2 minutes before scoring their first field goal. And when they did finally make a run, James stopped them in their tracks, scoring Cleveland's last 14 points, 10 in the final two minutes.
The Bulls had pulled within 85-92 on Jerome Williams' layup with 2:25 to play. But James responded with a 16-foot jumper. On Cleveland's next possession, he let fly with a long jumper that drew a gasp from the crowd.
He then sealed the victory with six free throws.
Big weekend for James
It's been a big weekend for James. He scored 36 points Friday night, helping Cleveland break a 34-game road losing streak that was tied for second-longest in NBA history. His signature shoe went on sale early Saturday -- he stopped by Niketown before the game to check it out -- and then got to play in Jordan's house.
In front of His Airness, no less.
"That's my idol, always will be. This is his house, always will be," James said before the game. "But I'm going to go out and just play my game. I'm not trying to praise anybody but my teammates and my coaches."
Jordan had to like what he saw in the player many believe is his heir apparent, though. James certainly doesn't play like an 18-year-old or a rookie. Not given many opportunities earlier, he turned to his teammates instead of forcing shots and had six assists in the first quarter.
But when he started getting his shots, he took them. He scored on a fast-break layup even though he was falling backward, and he had the crowd roaring when he scored on a one-handed slam over three defenders in the second quarter.
His defensive game was equally impressive, too. Though Jamal Crawford finished with 16 points, he was just 7-for-27. Kirk Hinrich had 10 points on 4-of-12 shooting.
Notes
Asked if he'd like to have Jordan back in a Bulls uniform, Chicago coach Scott Skiles joked, "Not at the age he is now." After a pause he said, "Maybe I better rethink that." ... It was the Bulls' fifth sellout of the season. They're 1-4 in sellouts. ... Chicago is 0-2 this season when Jordan attends a game. ... It was the first time Cleveland won consecutive road games since Feb. 16-22, 2002. The Cavaliers were 3-38 on the road last season.
