Cavs top Sixers for 11th win in a row

CLEVELAND (AP) -- Kyrie Irving scored 24 points, LeBron James added 18 points and 11 assists, and the Cleveland Cavaliers staggered to their 11th straight win, 97-84 over the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday night.

The winning streak is Cleveland's longest since reeling off 13 in a row -- a franchise record -- in 2010, the last season of James' first stint with the club. The Cavs had trouble putting away the young Sixers, who did all they could to stay close but don't have the firepower to keep up with Irving, James and one of the NBA's hottest teams.

Atlanta entered the week on a 19-game win streak.

Kevin Love added 15 rebounds and Matthew Dellavedova made three clutch 3-pointers in the fourth quarter to help the Cavs hold on.
