The Cleveland Cavaliers ( 55 - 22 ) defeated the Charlotte Hornets ( 44 - 32 ) 112 - 103 on Sunday . As he 's done on so many other occasions , LeBron James took the reins of the Cavaliers offense in a crucial game . With Kyrie Irving sitting out with an injured ankle , James led the way for Cleveland with a game - high 31 points , and added 12 assists , eight rebounds and a pair of steals . He was far from the only contributor however , as J.R. Smith and Kevin Love also notably stepped up in the absence of their All-Star point guard . The victory helped the Cavs open up a 4 - game lead over the idle Toronto Raptors for the top seed in the Eastern Conference with five games to play . Cleveland will have to keep their knife sharpened for at least a couple of more contests , as their remaining games include four opponents who will be fighting for playoff position . The Hornets ' attack was spearheaded by Kemba Walker , who pitched in with 29 points , seven assists , six rebounds , four steals and a block . The standout point guard compiled 21 of those points in the second half . Marvin Williams followed with a bounce - back effort after a couple of down performances , tallying 22 points , six rebounds , three assists , a steal and a block . Courtney Lee was next with 11 points , three assists , a rebound , three steals and a block . Jeremy Lin paced the reserves with 14 points , three rebounds and an assist . Charlotte has clinched a playoff spot and is presently tied for second place in the Eastern Conference 's Southeast Division , while also currently being slotted in the sixth seed . They visit the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday night . Smith followed James ' effort with a season - high 27 points , which he supplemented with five rebounds , three assists and a steal . His point total included six three - pointers in nine attempts from beyond the arc . Meanwhile , Love posted a near double - double with 25 points , nine rebounds , four assists and a block , while draining five treys himself . In all , Cleveland shot 54 percent ( 16 - for - 29 ) from long distance . The Cavaliers head to Milwaukee for a Tuesday night tilt with the Bucks .
