The Washington Wizards ( 28 - 30 ) defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers ( 41 - 17 ) 113 - 99 on Sunday . LeBron James was given an off day for only the second time this season and unfortunately for the Cavs , the results of his absence were somewhat predictable . The final margin of victory for the Wizards belied their game - long dominance of Cleveland , who was already staring at a 96 - 70 deficit heading into the final period . Washington 's first unit unsurprisingly bested Cleveland 's starting five in all major categories , and only Kyrie Irving appeared determined to try and keep the game respectable for the short - handed visitors . The victory was a crucial one for a Wizards squad that needs every win it can get down the stretch , and the comfortable second - half lead allowed their front - line players some much needed rest . All five members of the first unit were able to play under 30 minutes for the Wizards , a welcome luxury in the latter stages of what has been a tough season for them to date . Irving 's 28 points spearheaded Cleveland 's attack on the afternoon , and the game - high scoring total was supplemented by six assists and a rebound . Kevin Love was a distant second with 12 points , five rebounds and an assist in just 24 minutes of play . Veteran Richard Jefferson drew the start in James ' place , and contributed 10 points , five boards and an assist . Tristan Thompson ( two points , two rebounds , two assists ) and J.R. Smith ( eight points , four rebounds , an assist and two steals ) were underwhelming while rounding out a generally forgettable afternoon for the Cavs ' first unit . Timofey Mozgov contributed a 10 - point , 10 - rebound double - double off the bench to pace the reserves . Despite the defeat , the Cavs continue atop the Eastern Conference Central Division and also possess the first seed in the conference by one and a half games over the Toronto Raptors , who can make up some ground by defeating the Detroit Pistons later Sunday . Cleveland heads back home to face off against the Indiana Pacers on Monday evening . John Wall led the way for Washington with 21 points , 13 assists and seven rebounds in just 29 minutes . Otto Porter encouragingly matched Wall 's point total and added five rebounds , three assists and a block . It was notably only the second performance of over 20 points for the struggling forward in February , and first since Feb. 6 versus the Hornets . Marcin Gortat contributed a near double - double with 13 points , nine rebounds , three assists and a block . Bradley Beal , still coming off the bench , poured in 17 points and added three rebounds , an assist and a pair of steals to pace the reserves . The Wizards are currently in fourth place in the Eastern Conference 's Southeast Division , and two games back of the eighth - seeded Chicago Bulls . They remain home to face the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday night .
