Washington kept it close but the Cavaliers rallied to improve to 15-0 at home.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Being home for the holidays was almost a downer for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Trailing by eight to woeful Washington, the Cavaliers scored 11 straight points in the final 1:33 to preserve their perfect home record with a 93-89 win Thursday night.

Mo Williams scored 24 points, and LeBron James and Delonte West had 18 apiece for the Cavs, who at 15-0 are the NBA’s lone unbeaten team at home.

Cleveland trailed 89-82 before storming back with three free throws by James, a 3-pointer by Williams and five more foul shots in the last 26 seconds.

Antawn Jamison scored 28 points, and Mike James 26 for the Wizards, who dropped their eighth straight and continue to find new ways to lose.

The Cavaliers’ home winning streak was as good as history when Jamison drained a 3-pointer with 1:40 left to put the Wizards ahead by seven points.

But James was fouled shooting a 3 and, after starting 3-of-7 from the line, Cleveland’s superstar made three straight from the line to pull Cleveland to 89-85. Williams then drew a charge on Jamison in the lane and then demanded the ball from James and got it before hitting a 3-pointer to make it 89-88 with 1:03 to go.

James missed for Washington and Jamison fouled out while battling Anderson Varejao for a rebound. Varejao made both free throws to give the Cavs a 90-88 lead, and Cleveland got the ball right back when Caron Butler was called for charging into Ben Wallace. The Wizards had to foul and Williams made them pay by hitting two free throws to make it 92-89.

The Wizards still had a chance to tie, but James, recently acquired in a trade from Memphis, missed a 3-pointer and West made 1-of-2 foul shots to ice it.

During their home streak, the Cavs have been blowing teams out, but a a sloppy third quarter left them in an unfamiliar position of trailing entering the fourth.
