The Cleveland Cavaliers ( 22 - 9 ) defeated the Orlando Magic ( 19 - 15 ) 104 - 79 on Saturday . The Cavaliers came into the contest tied with the Heat as the stingiest Eastern Conference team in terms of points allowed , yielding only 95 per game . They further cemented their reputation with a suffocation of the Magic 's offense , preventing their starting five from producing a single double - digit scorer . The Cavs made life miserable for Orlando shooting - wise , as the visitors could only muster a 38 percent success rate from the field , and 24 percent figure from beyond the arc . On the offensive end , Cleveland also took excellent care of the ball , committing only six turnovers in contrast to the 14 they forced from the Magic . Orlando was actually led by Aaron Gordon 's 11 points off the bench , which he complemented with seven rebounds and a pair of assists . A pair of 10 - point tallies from Shabazz Napier and Mario Hezonja , who were also in reserve roles , served as the next highest totals . The former added four rebounds , an assist and a steal , while the latter contributed six boards and three assists . Evan Fournier 's nine points paced the starting five , a group that bottomed out with a scoreless effort from Elfrid Payton over 16 minutes . The Magic dropped to 19 - 15 and currently reside in third place in the Eastern Conference 's Southeast Division . They next head to Detroit to take on the Pistons on Monday night . LeBron James led the charge for the home team , totaling 29 points , five rebounds , three assists and a pair of steals . Kyrie Irving played a highly efficient 21 minutes while serving as the second - highest scorer on the night , pouring in 13 points and adding five assists and a pair of rebounds . The frontcourt tandem of Tristan Thompson and Kevin Love put together a pair of 10 - point double - doubles that were supplemented with 12 and 13 boards , respectively . James Jones came off the bench to pace the Cleveland reserves with 10 points , three rebounds and an assist . The Cavaliers improved to 22 - 9 and remain atop the Eastern Conference 's Central Division . They are home again on Monday to take on the Toronto Raptors .
