The Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Boston Celtics 128 - 122 on Thursday at Quicken Loans Arena . The score indicates a closer game than it actually was , as after the Cavaliers ( 50 ) took a 17 - point lead headed into the final period , the Celtics ( 3 - 2 ) came roaring back to at least make the game interesting , but six points was as close as they were going to get . After being rather passive scoring - wise through the first four games of the regular season , LeBron James exploded going for a game - high 30 points on top of 12 assists and seven rebounds in 36 minutes . The other two members of Cleveland 's big three also put together big nights , with Kevin Love recording 26 points and eight rebounds , as he continues his hot start to the season , and Kyrie Irving scoring 23 points of his own . As a team , the Cavaliers managed to do plenty of damage from behind the arc — where they shot 41 percent from — and the free throw line — where they shot an incredible 37 shots from , making 32 of them . Boston , on the other hand , came into this game missing both Jae Crowder ( ankle ) and Al Horford ( concussion ) and were carried by their starting backcourt consisting of Isaiah Thomas and Avery Bradley . Thomas recorded a game - high 30 points while scoring nearly half of his points from the free throw line , as he shot 14 - of - 14 from the charity stripe . The rest of his Boston teammates struggled getting to the line , however , as they shot just 5 - of - 8 from the stripe over the course of Thursday 's game . Bradley was n't too far behind , recording a double - double of 26 points and 10 rebounds over 39 minutes . It was rookie Jaylen Brown , however , who had the game 's breakout performance , scoring a career - high 19 points and grabbing five rebounds after getting the start in place of the injured Crowder . Up next , the Cavaliers will head to Philadelphia on Saturday to take on the 76ers , while the Celtics will have off until Sunday when they will take on the Nuggets . It was another monster day for Cleveland 's big three consisting of LeBron James , Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving , as they combined to score 79 of the teams 128 points Thursday night . This has been nothing new for the Cavaliers ' stars this season , as they are scoring a combined 70 points per game through the first five game of the season . If the big three can continue to score at this high of a rate , especially Kevin Love , this team will give defenses problem all year . For the Celtics , the story of the game from them was rookie wing Jaylen Brown 's explosion in the box score amidst his start in the place of an injured Jae Crowder . After scoring a combined 27 points in his first four games as a pro , Brown made the most of his 35 minutes of playing time , scoring 19 points on 8 - of - 16 shooting from the field , which included three 3 - pointers .
