The Cleveland Cavaliers ( 42 - 17 ) defeated the Indiana Pacers ( 31 - 29 ) 100 - 96 on Monday . A day of rest for LeBron James on Sunday turned into one of calamity for his teammates , as they looked woefully ineffective in losing to the Washington Wizards by a 113 - 99 score that belied the extent of the winning team 's dominance . James returned from his one - game sabbatical Monday , but Cleveland still had its work cut out for it in a matchup against their division rivals . Although LeBron looked refreshed while posting a game - high 33 points , Indiana countered with a pair of standout performances from Monta Ellis and Paul George . After a Cleveland comeback from a 94 - 91 deficit at the 1:30 mark of the fourth quarter , the nip - and - tuck battle came down for one last three - point attempt for George with two seconds left . The All-Star forward had drained four of his eight tries from beyond the arc leading up to that moment , but his 26 - footer missed its target , clinching a much - needed victory for a struggling Cleveland squad fighting to hold on to the top Eastern Conference seed . Ellis ' 28 points paced the visitors , and he added two assists , a rebound and a steal . George followed closely behind with 23 points , eight rebounds , six assists and a pair of steals . George Hill was the only other member of the starting five with double - digit scoring , collecting 11 points , five assists and a pair of rebounds . Chase Budinger led the Pacers reserves with 11 points , four boards , a steal and a block . Indiana remains tied for second place with the Chicago Bulls in the Eastern Conference 's Central Division , and for the eighth seed as well . They now head to Milwaukee for a Wednesday evening tilt versus the Bucks . James added five rebounds , four assists and a pair of steals to his scoring haul . Kyrie Irving , the only Cavalier who looked like he 'd come to play in Sunday 's lackluster outing , put together a 22 - point , six - assist , three - rebound performance that also included a steal . Kevin Love bounced back from a forgettable effort versus the Wizards with 13 points , eight rebounds and six assists . J.R. Smith overcame a tough first half to finish with 11 points , three rebounds and a steal . Tristan Thompson responded to his move to the bench by providing a 14 - point , 11 - rebound double - double that also included a block . The Cavs retain first place in the Eastern Conference 's Central Division , and the top seed in the conference by two and a half games over the Toronto Raptors .
