The Cleveland Cavaliers ( 43 - 17 ) defeated the Washington Wizards ( 30 - 31 ) 108 - 83 on Friday . Despite opting to give star forward Kevin Love the day off for rest purposes , the Cavs encountered surprisingly little difficulty in pulling away from a Wizards team that had soundly defeated them last Sunday . The main difference in this contest was the presence of LeBron James , who 'd sat out the 113 - 99 loss in Washington . Following a week of controversy in which his intentions to remain in Cleveland long - term were called into question , James responded with a 19 - point , 13 - rebound double - double that also included seven assists and three steals . The Cavs outperformed the Wizards in virtually every major offensive category during the dominating performance , particularly from long distance . Cleveland amassed an impressive 44 percent accuracy rate from beyond the arc , while limiting Washington to a paltry 15 percent tally . The visitors were led by John Wall , who managed 17 points , eight rebounds and seven assists . Markieff Morris was next in line , contributing 13 points , five rebounds and two assists . Marcin Gortat posted a near double - double , registering 10 points , nine rebounds and three blocks . Ramon Sessions paced the bench with 12 points , three rebounds , two assists and a block . Bradley Beal , still coming off the bench despite Garrett Temple 's monumental struggles as a starter ( scoreless in 27 minutes Friday ) , pitched in with 11 points , three rebounds , an assist and a steal as well . The Wizards are currently in fourth place in the Eastern Conference 's Southeast Division , and a game back of the eighth - seeded Detroit Pistons . They 're home against the Pacers on Saturday night . Kyrie Irving spearheaded the Cavs ' attack with 21 points , eight assists , five rebounds and a steal . Timofey Mozgov turned in one of his best offensive performances of the season , totaling 14 points and five rebounds over a productive 20 minutes . J.R. Smith contributed a modest 10 points , four assists , a rebound and a pair of steals , while Matthew Delladedova led the reserves with a 12 - point effort that was supplemented with three rebounds , an assist and a steal . Tristan Thompson scored in double digits off the bench as well , picking up 10 points , seven boards , a steal and two blocks . The Cavs remain atop the Eastern Conference 's Central Division , and retain a two - game lead for the top seed in the conference over the Toronto Raptors .
