In brief: Cavs win 7th straight behind, Kyrie Irving, LeBron James

NBA: Kyrie Irving matched his season high with 38 points and LeBron James added 32 to lift Cleveland to its seventh straight victory, 103-95 at Detroit.

The Cavs avenged a 23-point home loss to Detroit late last month. That game was part of a seven-game winning streak for the Pistons, but now Detroit is struggling to overcome the loss of Brandon Jennings, who ruptured his left Achilles tendon last weekend and will miss the rest of the season.

• Rose connects to snap Warriors’ streak: Derrick Rose hit a step-back jumper with 7 seconds remaining in overtime, and visiting Chicago ended Golden State’s franchise-record 19-game home winning streak with a thrilling 113-111 victory.

Rose dribbled to his left and created space to get the shot off over Klay Thompson, skipping around the court after the Warriors called timeout. Rose finished with 30 points, and his final basket overshadowed a night when he committed a career-high 11 turnovers and made just 13 of 33 shots.

• Bucks knock off Heat: Brandon Knight had 17 points and six assists and visiting Milwaukee put seven players in double figures on the way to beating Miami 109-102.

• Toronto whips slumping Indiana: DeMar DeRozan scored 24 points and Kyle Lowry added 19, leading Toronto to a 104-91 victory over Indiana at Indianapolis.

Rodney Stuckey scored 22 points and Solomon Hill finished with 15 to lead Indiana, which has lost eight of nine.

• Oklahoma State upsets No. 20 Baylor: Phil Forte scored 16 points and Le’Bryan Nash added 13 to help Oklahoma State (14-6, 4-4 Big 12) defeat No. 20 Baylor (15-5, 3-4) 64-53 at Stillwater, Oklahoma.

• West Virginia posts road win: Tarik Phillip matched a career-high 12 points and West Virginia (17-3, 5-2 Big 12), relying on its high-pressure defense, shut down Kansas State (12-9, 5-3) for a 65-59 victory at Manhattan, Kan.

The Mountaineers forced the Wildcats into 25 turnovers while holding them to 36 percent shooting from the field.

• No. 14 VCU routs George Washington: Freshman Terry Larrier scored 15 points and No. 14 Virginia Commonwealth (17-3, 10-0 Atlantic 10) pulled away with a 16-2 run early in the second half to beat George Washington (16-5, 6-2) at Richmond, Virginia, for its 12th consecutive victory.
