Collin Sexton scored 39 points, handed out eight assists and sparked a critical fourth-quarter run to lead the visiting Cleveland Cavaliers to a 101-90 win over the Houston Rockets on Monday.

Sexton was the ignition for a 13-0 spurt in the final period, with the surge following a Ben McLemore 3-pointer that gave the Rockets a 78-77 lead.
