(Sports Network) - LeBron James and the Central Division-leading Cleveland Cavaliers try to bounce back into the win column when they take on the Houston Rockets tonight from the Toyota Center.

The Cavs had their four-game winning streak come to an end with Tuesday's 111-109 overtime loss to the Memphis Grizzlies at FedEx Forum. James ended with a season-high 43 points, 13 rebounds and six assists, but finished just 6-of-19 from the field after halftime.

Mo Williams had 20 points for Cleveland, which will close out a three-game road trip Wednesday and is 7-4 away from Quicken Loans Arena this season. Shaquille O'Neal ended with 16 points, six boards and four blocks.

"He definitely was an inside presence for us, but they did a good job of bringing another big over to him," James said of Memphis' defense on O'Neal. "We could never get (the ball) to the other side. It's something we need to work on."

Houston is also trying to get back into the win column after having its three- game winning streak come to an end with Saturday's 90-89 loss at Portland.

Carl Landry had 23 points for the Rockets, who got 21 points from Luis Scola and 12 points out of Chase Budinger.

"We couldn't get a stop there in the last two minutes," said Rockets coach Rick Adelman. "We had a great chance to win. When you're playing on the road and you give yourself a shot in the fourth quarter, that's what you want. We had our shot to win but we just didn't get it done."

The Rockets are 4-4 as the host this season and sit three games behind the Dallas Mavericks for the lead in the Southwest Division.

Houston has won three of the last four meetings with Cleveland, which is winless in its last three visits to the Toyota Center.
