The Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Portland Trail Blazers , 137 - 125 , at Quicken Loans Arena on Wednesday . Kevin Love has looked much more comfortable with the Cavs this season and it really showed in this dominating win . Love set an NBA-record with 34 first - quarter points , going 8 - of - 11 from three - point range . He finished the game with just 40 points , but that was still a career - best with Cleveland . The Cavaliers offense was clicking on all cylinders , as they shot 53 percent ( 48 - of - 90 ) from the field and 58 percent from three - point range ( 21 - of - 36 ) . Portland 's offense was n't far behind , as they went 47 - of - 90 from the field to shoot 52 percent/ . Cleveland 's 81 - point first half fell just shy of a franchise - records for both teams . Portland ( 8 - 9 ) have really struggled on defense this season and this loss may have been the most embarrassing one thus far . Damian Lillard did all he could on offense though , as he tallied 40 points , seven rebounds and 11 assists on 13 - of - 21 shooting in the defeat . C.J . McCollum struggled , going just 5 - of - 12 from the field en route to 13 points , one rebound and two assists . Mason Plumlee went 9 - of - 10 from the field to score 19 points , but grabbed just four rebounds in 23 minutes of action . Evan Turner was the only bench player to score more than seven points , as he dropped 17 points on 7 - of - 13 shooting . Portland will look to get out of this slump on Friday against the surging New Orleans Pelicans for their next game . Cleveland ( 11 - 2 ) have not let up one bit after their championship campaign from last year and offensive showcases like this show why they 're so good . Kevin Love was the star , as he scored an NBA-record 34 points in the first quarter and finished the game with 40 points . LeBron James may have been the player of the game though , as he accumulated 31 points , 10 rebounds , 13 assists and three steals in the win . Kyrie Irving finished with 20 points and six assists of his own . Channing Frye went 4 - for - 6 from three - point range en route to a bench - leading 14 points . The Cavaliers will return to action on Friday in a home matchup against the struggling Dallas Mavericks . All the talk around this game will be about Kevin Love and rightfully so . While he finished with just 40 points , he set an NBA-record by dropping 34 points in the first quarter . He went 8 - of - 11 from three - point range in that first quarter and finished the game 12 - of - 20 from the field , struggling the final three quarters . LeBron James would n't be outdone though , as he accumulated 31 points , 10 rebounds and 13 assists en route to a triple - double . Cleveland has made at least 10 three - pointers in every game this season and that 's what carried them here . In fact , they went 21 - of - 36 from three - point range and shot 53 percent from the field . Damian Lillard did his best to keep Portland hanging around , as he tallied 40 points , seven rebounds and 11 assists in the defeat . Portland have now allowed at least 113 points in six - straight games and are allowing over 120 points a game in that span . This was a rare wire - to - wire win for the Cavs .
