The Cleveland Cavaliers ( 30 - 11 ) defeated the Los Angeles Clippers ( 27 - 15 ) 115 - 102 on Thursday . A common tenet of success across most team sports is that collective balance usually triumphs over remarkable individual performances , and such was the case Thursday . Although the visiting Clippers received a 30 - point , nine - assist effort from Chris Paul , the rest of the All-Star point guard 's teammates did n't come close to approximating his output . Only two other starters managed double - digit scoring , putting an inordinate amount of responsibility on Paul . Meanwhile , all five Cavaliers starters tallied double - digit scoring , and two of them , Kevin Love and LeBron James , also posted double - doubles . Cleveland shot 51 percent from the field overall , and 46 percent from beyond the arc . Paul added three rebounds , three steals and a block to his scoring and assist totals . J.J. Redick was next in line , registering a respectable 17 points , but only adding two rebounds to his stat line . DeAndre Jordan put together a 10 - point , 13 - rebound double - double , and Jamal Crawford paced the Clippers ' reserves with 16 points and a steal . Paul Pierce notably was scoreless over 17 minutes as a starter , with only an assist and a steal to his credit on the night . Despite the loss , Los Angeles remains in second place in the Western Conference 's Pacific Division . They head to New York to take on the Knicks on Friday night . Cleveland 's attack was spearheaded by a pair of 22 - point efforts from James and J.R. Smith . The former added 12 assists and five rebounds , while the latter supplemented his points with a pair of rebounds and a pair of assists . Kyrie Irving bounced back from two single - digit scoring performances to post 21 points , four assists , two rebounds and a steal . Love put together a second consecutive double - double , collecting 18 points and hauling in 16 boards . He also added a pair of assists and a steal . Timofey Mozgov registered his second straight 11 - point , five - rebound outing to round out a successful night for the starters . Tristan Thompson was a force on the glass while leading the Cavs ' reserves , totaling 12 rebounds and adding eight points . With the victory , Cleveland remains atop the Eastern Conference 's Central Division . They remain home to face off against the Bulls on Saturday night .
