Even with 52 points, James needs support

Cleveland is 1-4 during the player's scoring surge and has lost six of its last eight.
MILWAUKEE (AP) -- LeBron James did everything but win.
James scored an NBA season-high 52 points, but T.J. Ford tied his career high with 24 and Michael Redd added 23 to help the Milwaukee Bucks beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 111-106 Saturday night.
James was 19-for-29 from the floor, including 5-of-9 shooting from 3-point range, and 9-for-10 from the line. He fell four points short of his career high of 56 set in a loss at Toronto on March 20.
"I don't want to score 50 again for the rest of my career because I am now 0-2 when I score 50," James said after the game. "I don't look at it as me playing well. It's the fact that we didn't get a win and that's all I care for."
Other numbers
James, who also had seven assists and seven defensive rebounds, had 31 points in the first half.
"He scored 50-some in Toronto and we ended up losing," Zydrunas Ilgauskas said. "He obviously had a great night, but we couldn't get the crucial stops. They beat us to the loose balls or they got the offensive boards or we had offensive breakdowns."
The Bucks couldn't stop James, but did a great job on his teammates.
"We didn't want him to go off for 50, but he shot the ball so well coming out that it was kind of hard to stop him," said Andrew Bogut, who had a career-high 21 points, including seven down the stretch as the Bucks handed Cleveland its seventh consecutive loss in Milwaukee since March 8, 2002. "Other guys didn't get involved in the second half and that keyed us."
Ilgauskas scored 12 of his 20 points in the first half for Cleveland. Larry Hughes, the team's second-leading scorer, had all of his nine points in the second half.
The Bucks have won five of their last six games.
Achieves distinction
James, who entered the game averaging 29 points, became the first Cavaliers player to have five consecutive games of 30 or more points. Mike Mitchell scored at least 30 points in four straight games from March 1-9, 1981.
Ford's 24 points came on 9-of-12 shooting, including a career-high 5-of-5 from 3-point range. He also had nine assists.
"That's not what he's known for, but he stepped up and hit them," Cavaliers coach Mike Brown said.
The Bucks outrebounded the Cavaliers 41-28, with Jamaal Magloire grabbing 15.
Cleveland is 1-4 during James' scoring surge and has lost six of its last eight since a season-high eight-game winning streak.
"We will get it together," James said. "We know we're a good team."
