The Cavaliers were unable to overcome the absence of LeBron James , falling to the Thunder 103 - 94 on Thursday night . James , who sat out with soreness in his knee , is 14 - 4 against Kevin Durant in his career , but could do nothing but watch from the sidelines as Durant and Russell Westbrook stifled a late run by the Cavaliers , whose eight - game winning streak was snapped . The Thunder opened up a 20 - point lead early in the fourth quarter , courtesy of an 80 spree spurred by three - pointers by Reggie Jackson and Anthony Morrow . However , the Cavaliers responded , as a Matthew Dellavedova-led run brought Cleveland back to within four with just under two minutes to play . Following a timeout , the Thunder were able to regroup , as Kevin Durant scored Oklahoma City 's final eight points to put the game away . Durant finished with 19 points , six rebounds and five assists , converting 6 - of - 14 field goals . He continues to be on a strict 30 - minute limit , though it 's likely to be lifted in the near future . Westbrook led the way with 26 points ( 12 - 24 FG ) , eight assists and seven rebounds , while Reggie Jackson added 13 points off the bench . Serge Ibaka had just seven points and no rebounds before fouling out in 26 minutes . Cleveland , which struggled to find quality shots without James , shot a paltry 37 percent from the floor but registered 30 free throw attempts , compared to Oklahoma City 's 22 . Irving had a team - high 20 points ( 7 - 21 FG ) to go with six assists , and Kevin Love added 18 points and 16 rebounds . Dellavedova , who drew the start in place of James , finished with 14 points , including four three - pointers . Both teams are on the first night of a back - to - back set . Cleveland heads to New Orleans to take on Anthony Davis and the Pelicans , while the Thunder play at Minnesota .
