The Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Sacramento Kings 101-95 on Wednesday night, tying a franchise record with the team's 13th straight victory.

What follows is a live recap of the Cavs' franchise-tying win and how the comeback victory went down.

Fourth quarter

15.8 seconds remaining: Cavs 100, Kings 95

That should about do it, as LeBron James puts the game on ice with a 3-point shot with 15.8 seconds remaining. 32 points, 11 rebounds and 9 assists for James, with Kevin Love adding 18 and Jeff Green scoring 17 off the bench. Zach Randolph leads the Kings with 18 points and 10 rebounds.

6:13 remaining: Cavs 91, Kings 89

Cavs came out on fire, with Kyle Korver leading the way with a 3-pointer to regain the lead. Cavs continue to fight and maintain a lead, but will be in a battle down the stretch to keep this lead in hand and extend the streak to 13.

Third quarter

End of quarter: Kings 78, Cavs 73

Cavs went on a run and cut the Kings' lead to 2 on a Dwyane Wade to LeBron James alley-oop, but Kings will enter the fourth quarter up 5.

3:52 remaining: Kings 70, Cavs 65

That run may be underway as a Kevin Love 3 cuts the Kings' lead to just 5. For what it's worth, LeBron's changed shoes again, now going with some red Nike Soldier 11s.

6:44 remaining: Kings 67, Cavs 58

Kings have pushed their lead to double-digits a few times, but the Cavs are doing what they need to in order to keep the lead in reach. Still are going to need a big run here at some point if they're going to extend the winning streak.

Second quarter

End of quarter: King 57, Cavs 48

Cavs have some work to do if they're going to extend this winning streak to 13 games. Zach Randolph having a big night for Sacramento, posting 13 points and 8 rebounds in the first half.

LeBron well on pace for a triple-double with 12 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists in 21 minutes of action.

3:25 remaining- Kings 45, Cavs 43

Cavs continuing to keep pace, with LeBron becoming more active from a scoring standpoint (up to 10 points). Buddy Hield, however, has been a problem and currently has 12 points for the Kings.

7:30 remaining - Cavs 34, Kings 32

Cavs regain the lead and playing with some more energy than earlier. LeBron off to a 1-3 shooting night, but has been plenty active with 5 rebounds and 5 assists.

First quarter

End of quarter- Kings 22, Cavs 19

Kings pulled ahead and began to gain some separation, but a Jeff Green 3-pointer as the quarter came to an end brought the Cavs within three. LeBron went scoreless in 9 minutes, but did change his shoes midway through the quarter.

6:34 remaining- Cavs 6, Kings 6

Not much action on the offensive side of the floor for either team early, with the Cavs shooting 3 for 9 and the Kings going 3 for 11. Kevin Love has 4 of the Cavs' 6 points.
