Kevin Love 's 29 - point , 13 - rebound double - double led the way for the Cavs , who 'd rested Kyrie Irving on Tuesday . J.R. Smith posted a season - high 23 points on 8 - of - 17 shooting , including a stellar 6 - of - 10 tally from beyond the arc , and LeBron James matched his point total while adding eight assists , six rebounds and three steals . Cleveland 's 46 percent shooting from the field helped them overcome 17 turnovers . Zach Randolph , starting at center for the resting Marc Gasol , posted 18 points , five rebounds , two assists , two steals and a block . Troy Williams and Andrew Harrison turned in a pair of 13 - point efforts , while Tony Allen contributed eight points and JaMychal Green only poured in two points but brought down eight boards . Memphis had a particularly difficult time from long range , tallying an unsightly 18 percent success rate from behind the arc . The Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Memphis Grizzlies , 103 - 86 , at Quicken Loans Arena on Tuesday . The two teams square off again Wednesday night in Memphis in the second game of a home - and - home series , so the Grizzlies ( 17 - 9 ) opted to rest Marc Gasol on Tuesday . That left them even more short - handed than usual , given that star point guard Mike Conley is also out for the foreseeable future . That played right into the Cavs ' hands , as they were able to put together a relatively comfortable home win despite sitting Kyrie Irving for rest purposes themselves . LeBron James and Kevin Love turned in their typical quality of performance , but the story was J.R. Smith , who 'd essentially been mired in a month - long slump . The veteran guard posted a season - high 23 points on 8 - of - 17 shooting , including a stellar 6 - of - 10 tally from beyond the arc . Cleveland ( 18 - 5 ) shot 46 percent from the field overall , which helped them overcome 17 turnovers . The Grizzlies were led by Zach Randolph , who started at center for Gasol . He posted 18 points , five rebounds , two assists , two steals and a block . Troy Williams and Andrew Harrison turned in a pair of 13 - point efforts , with the former adding six rebounds and an assist , and the latter posting four assists , three rebounds , three blocks and a steal . Tony Allen contributed eight points , a rebound , an assist and three steals , while JaMychal Green only poured in two points but brought down eight boards . Jarell Martin supplied eight points , 10 rebounds and an assist . Love led the way for Cleveland with 29 points , 13 rebounds , three assists and two steals .
