The Cleveland Cavaliers ( 48 - 19 ) defeated the Dallas Mavericks ( 34 - 34 ) 99 - 98 on Wednesday . As part of a plan to keep starters fresh for the playoffs , LeBron James was given the night off by coach Tyronn Lue , placing a greater degree of responsibility on fellow superstar Kyrie Irving . The All-Star guard , as he often did prior to James ' return at the start of last season , largely placed the offense on his shoulders , but it was a key defensive play on his part that helped seal the victory . Irving totaled a game - high 33 points , and added five rebounds , an assist , a block and a steal with 3 seconds left on a pass intended for Dirk Nowitzki . He was fouled right after swiping the ball , and sunk two decisive free throws to provide just enough cushion to withstand Deron Williams ' three - pointer at the buzzer and still allow Cleveland to walk away victorious . Kevin Love pitched in with a strong effort of his own to support Iriving , tallying 23 points , 18 rebounds , an assist and a pair of blocks . J.R. Smith was next with 13 points , four rebounds , four assists and three steals . Channing Frye continued his strong play off the bench , pacing the reserves with 14 points , three rebounds and a steal . Tristan Thompson , drawing the start at center , notably went scoreless over 37 minutes but did haul in eight rebounds and dish out two assists . The Cavs continue atop both the Eastern Conference 's Central Division , and the conference as a whole . They head to Orlando to take on the Magic on Friday . The Mavs were led by a pair of 20 - point efforts from two of their big men . Nowitzki paced the starters that point total , and added four rebounds , three assists and three blocks . David Lee led the reserves his tally , and supplemented the scoring with three rebounds and an assist . J.J. Barea was the only other Dallas player - - starter or reserve - - to manage double - digit scoring , supplying 17 points , four assists and three rebounds in 23 minutes off the bench . The Mavs are currently in fourth place in the Western Conference 's Southwest Division , and are hanging on to the eighth seed in the conference for the time being as well . They 're home again Friday to face the Golden State Warriors .
