The Cleveland Cavaliers ( 13 - 4 ) defeated the Brooklyn Nets ( 3 - 13 ) 90 - 88 on Saturday . LeBron James likely imagined many moments like tonight 's closing sequence on his hometown court when he opted to return to Cleveland . The perennial All-Star scored the final two of his 26 points on the night on an eight - foot jumper to break an 88 - 88 tie and send the Cavs home winners for the second consecutive night . As has become customary in Kyrie Irving 's season - long absence while recovering from knee surgery , James and Kevin Love took charge of the Cleveland offense with matching 26 - point efforts to help their team remain perfect at home . The Nets certainly gave a valiant effort and were led by their own `` Big Two `` of Brook Lopez and Thaddeus Young , who both stuffed the stat sheet across virtually every category . Lopez contributed 22 points , nine rebounds , a pair of assists , a pair of blocks and a steal over 38 minutes . Meanwhile , Young managed 16 points , 12 rebounds and a steal over 36 minutes on the court , making it his fifth double - double in the last seven contests . Veteran Joe Johnson also turned in a strong bounce - back effort with 17 points , after having only managed five points in Wednesday night 's loss to the Thunder . Jarret Jack pitched in with an impressive double - double of his own , tallying 12 points and supplementing it with a season - high 14 assists . Rookie Rondae Hollis-Jefferson posted double - digit rebounds for the third time in four contests , hauling in 10 boards and adding six points , an assist , five steals and a block over 30 minutes . Brooklyn fell to 3 - 13 and currently resides in fourth place in the Eastern Conference 's Atlantic Division . They head home to face the Detroit Pistons on Sunday . In addition to James ' and Loves ' outstanding performances , the Cavs also benefited from a 14 - point night from Mo Williams , as well as a 10 - point , 11 - rebound effort from Tristan Thompson , who 's now managed six consecutive double - doubles despite coming off the bench in a majority of those games . The remaining Cleveland starters could not muster much on the scoring end . J.R. Smith continued his recent offensive cool - down with a six - point , five - rebound performance , while Timofey Mozgov could only shoot 1 - for - 7 from the field on his way to a two - point , six - rebound outing . The Cleveland center did add a pair of assists , a pair of steals and a block . Cleveland improved to 13 - 4 and currently reside in first place in the Eastern Conference 's Central Division . They next face the Wizards in a home game on Tuesday .
