Toronto led by as many as 18 in the fourth quarter, but Gilbert Arenas' 3-pointer cut the lead to one with 1:25 left. James, who had 29 points, followed with consecutive 3-pointers to give Toronto a 115-110 lead with 24 seconds remaining.
Arenas scored 35 points for the Wizards, who looked tired after beating Indiana the night before.
Attendance was just 13,640, the worst crowd in franchise history.
Hawks 102, Bobcats 92
At Charlotte, North Carolina, Al Harrington scored 19 points to lead Atlanta over Charlotte, extending the Bobcats' franchise-record losing streak to 13 games.
The game was a battle between the worst two teams in the league. The Bobcats began the night with a 4-1 all-time record against the Hawks -- the only team in the Eastern Conference the Bobcats have a winning record against.
But with stars Emeka Okafor and Gerald Wallace on their ridiculously long injured list, the Bobcats never really had a chance.
Mavericks 81, Grizzlies 80
At Memphis, Tennessee, Dirk Nowitzki made two free throws with 7.2 seconds left, his only points of the fourth quarter, and Dallas overcame a 10-point deficit to beat Memphis for its 10th straight win.
Mike Miller's drive with 3 seconds left bounced off the side rim, sending Memphis to its third loss in four games.
Jazz 103, Nuggets 90
At Salt Lake City, Andrei Kirilenko had 21 points, five blocks and five assists, and Utah extended first-place Denver's losing streak to four.
Mehmet Okur had 28 points and 11 rebounds and Milt Palacio added 12 points and seven assists for the Jazz, who ended a three-game losing streak and cut into the Nuggets' slight lead in the Northwest Division.
Rockets 86, Bucks 84
At Houston, Tracy McGrady scored 22 points, Yao Ming added 21 and Houston overcame an early 13-point deficit to beat Milwaukee.
Yao, in his second game back after missing 21 games due to surgery on his left big toe, also had 13 rebounds for his 11th double-double of the season. Bobby Simmons hit a career-high five 3-pointers and led the Bucks with 26 points, matching his season high.
Hornets 100, Bulls 95
At Oklahoma City, Chris Paul scored 11 of his 25 points in the final 5 minutes, leading New Orleans over Chicago.
The Hornets lost a 17-point third-quarter lead but were rescued by Paul, who also had 13 assists and showed why earlier in the day he was named the Western Conference rookie of the month for the third straight time.
SuperSonics 111, Warriors 107
At Seattle, Ray Allen scored 32 points and Rashard Lewis added 26, leading Seattle to a comeback victory over Golden State.
The Warriors shot only 2-for-21 in the third quarter -- getting baskets by Derek Fisher and Baron Davis -- and Golden State had a season-low nine points in the period to fall behind 85-71. The Sonics had runs of 12-0 and 10-0 in the quarter.
Spurs 86, Trail Blazers 82
At Portland, Oregon, Tim Duncan had 14 points and 17 rebounds, and San Antonio won its fifth straight by beating Portland.
Manu Ginobili had 22 points and Tony Parker added 20 for the Spurs, who have won nine of their last 10 games.
The Spurs, on their Rodeo Trip that puts them on the road every February when the rodeo comes to the AT&T Center, beat Utah 79-70 on Monday. It was the first game of the eight-game trip.
