CLEVELAND - The Cleveland Cavaliers are winning, but not playing very well. They survived a late rally by the Milwaukee Bucks Friday in an 85-82 win.

LeBron James had 26 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists, leading his team to its ninth straight home victory.

Milwaukee rookie guard Brandon Jennings scored 18 points, but missed a three-pointer with four seconds left. Had that air ball connected, it would have tied the game and possibly forced an overtime.

Cleveland led by 15, 83-68, with six and a half minutes left. The Bucks went on a 14-2 run to make it close.

The Bucks managed only 33 second-half points and shot just 36 percent for the game. Center Andrew Bogut was held to four points in 17 minutes of play due to foul trouble.
