The Cleveland Cavaliers ( 36 - 14 ) defeated the New Orleans Pelicans ( 18 - 33 ) 99 - 84 on Saturday . One night removed from a heartbreaking 104 - 103 home defeat at the hands of Avery Bradley 's buzzer beater , the Cavaliers were tasked with taking on Anthony Davis and a feisty Pelicans squad with designs on an eighth playoff seed in the Western Conference . Cleveland proved it was up to the task in the second half of their back - to - back set , jumping on New Orleans early and then pulling away in the final period . The Cavaliers jumped out to a 28 - 20 lead after one quarter despite playing without starting power forward Kevin Love , who was nursing a bruised thigh . Although they trailed by as much as 15 in the second quarter , New Orleans battled back and closed the gap to four points on several occasions throughout the second half . However , Cleveland 's stars turned it up a notch when they needed it most , as Lebron James and Kyrie Irving combined for 17 points in a final period that the Cavs won by a margin of 25 - 14 . Three Cleveland starters - James , Irving and J.R. Smith - - turned in 20 - point - plus performances , and accounted for the bulk of the home team 's scoring on the night . The Pelicans were led by Norris Cole 's career - high 26 points , which he supplemented with five assists , two rebounds and a steal . His only blemish on the night was his five turnovers . Anthony Davis was the only other starter to tally double - digit scoring , scoring 24 points , and adding 11 rebounds and two blocks . Jrue Holiday paced the Pelicans bench with 12 points , five rebounds , four assists and a pair of steals . The visitors were largely stymied by Cleveland 's suffocating defense , as they managed to only shoot 39 percent from the field and 22 percent from behind the arc . New Orleans remains in last place in the Western Conference 's Southwest Division . They head to Minnesota to take on the Timberwolves on Monday night . Irving scored a game - high 29 points in spearheading Cleveland 's attack . He also managed four rebounds , three assists and two steals , and has now scored over 20 points in four of his last five contests . James was right behind him with 27 points , eight assists , three rebounds and a steal . J.R. Smith was chucking all night along , uncorking 16 three - point attempts and scoring 20 points overall , along with four rebounds , three assists and a steal . Tristan Thompson , who got the starting nod in Love 's stead , notably went scoreless over 33 minutes but was a force on the glass , hauling in 15 rebounds while also dishing out an assist . The Cavaliers remain comfortably atop the Eastern Conference 's Central Division . They 're at home again Monday for a tussle with the turmoil - laden Sacramento Kings .
