The Cleveland Cavaliers’ Lebron James earned yet another triple-double but it was all for naught, as Utah Jazz point guard Deron Williams’ layup with 1.3 seconds left in the game allowed the Jazz to squeak past the Cavaliers 103-101 in Salt Lake City.

The Jazz’ Williams scored the winning basket after James tied the score at 101 with a 3-pointer with 6 seconds left.? The game, televised on ESPN, was by and far the most exciting game of the night with many lead changes.?

Cleveland was led by, as one would expect, forward Lebron James scoring 32 points, with 15 rebounds and 13 assists.? Center Zydrunas Ilgauskas added 18 and 14 boards, while guard Sasha Pavlovic contributed 17.? Utah (3-2) travels to the Northwest to take on the Seattle SuperSonics on Friday, while Cleveland (2-3) flies further West to challenge the Sacramento Kings, also on Friday.
