Nov 3 (The Sports Xchange) - Highlights of Monday's National Basketball Association games: - - - Cavaliers 107, 76ers 100 LeBron James scored 22 points to become the youngest player in NBA history to surpass 25,000 points in Cleveland's 107-100 win over Philadelphia on Monday. The 30-year-old James, 20th on the all-time scoring list, needed 21 points at the beginning of the night to reach 25,000. He did so when he dunked on a lob from Matthew Dellavedova with 8:05 left in the game. Mo Williams added 21 points for Cleveland, which won its third straight to improve to 3-1. Kevin Love had 15 points and eight rebounds for the Cavaliers, who trailed by as many as 15 points in the first half. - - - Spurs 94, Knicks 84 Tim Duncan recorded the 831st double-double of his career leading San Antonio Spurs over New York. The ageless center scored 16 points and grabbed 10 rebounds. Duncan is fifth all-time in that category. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who stands in fourth place, registered 885 double-doubles. Duncan had plenty of help as San Antonio dominated the paint. Kawhi Leonard had 18 points, 14 rebounds and four blocks, LaMarcus Aldridge added 19 points and Tony Parker chipped in with 16 points. - - - Bucks 103, Nets 96 Jerryd Bayless paced a balanced scoring attack with 26 points, and Greg Monroe added 23 points and 13 rebounds as Milwaukee won for the first time this season. The Bucks outscored the Nets 8-0 down the stretch to secure the win. Milwaukee's Giannis Antetokounmpo added 21 points and eight rebounds while Khris Middleton added 17 points. - - - Rockets 110, Thunder 105 James Harden rediscovered his shooting stroke, and Ty Lawson had his best game with his new team as Houston rallied from a 15-point deficit to beat Oklahoma City. Harden finished with 37 points on 12-of-26 shooting and made more three-pointers (four) than he did in his first three games combined. However, he also missed eight times from beyond the arc. Lawson, an offseason acquisition from the Denver Nuggets, added 14 points, 11 assists and four steals for the Rockets. - - - Trail Blazers 106, Timberwolves 101 Damian Lillard scored 34 points and had seven assists to lead Portland over an emotional Timberwolves team that was mourning Flip Saunders.
