The Cleveland Cavaliers ( 46 - 18 ) defeated the Los Angeles Lakers ( 14 - 52 ) 120 - 108 at Staples Center on Thursday . Any other year , this meeting between the Eastern Conference 's best team and the Western Conference 's worst team would not make for a premier event , but given that it was the final time Kobe Bryant would face off against LeBron James , the night had some magic to it . Bryant and James have been the sole two players who have been highlighted in the past nine NBA Finals , but they never faced off the league 's biggest stage at the same time . The Black Mamba was not afraid of the competition , and turned back the clock with his most efficient shooting performance on the season , as he scored 26 points on 11 - of - 16 shooting in 32 minutes . The passing of the torch is not far away , and D'Angelo Russell has shown improvement over the course of the torrid season for Los Angeles , as he continued to select good shots throughout the matchup . Russell scored 24 points , to go along with four rebounds and five assists , which made up for Jordan Clarkson 's first off night in some time after scoring a lowly five points on 2 - of - 12 shooting . Julius Randle looked good with his right hand , especially driving in the lane , and pitched in 15 points and nine boards . The Cavaliers did not pull away until the second half , but once their engine got moving , the Lakers were left in the dust of a double figure lead for a while . The box score reflects six Cavs scoring in double figures , led by Kyrie Irving 's 26 points . The Duke product added two rebounds and nine assists on 11 - of - 20 shooting , while King James added 24 points , five boards and seven assists . J.R. Smith is finding a rhythm over his last week and buried four three - pointers in the contest , to go along with an off the backboard assist to James that had even the Lakers fans out of their seats . Channing Frye contributed a shooting clinic , and seemed unable to miss throughout the entirety of the game , which was reflected by his 21 points on 80 percent shooting . Tristan Thompson took care of business on the rebounding end , keeping most of the Lakers bigs boxed out . The Lakers will welcome Carmelo Anthony and the New York Knicks ( 27 - 39 ) on Sunday , while the Cavaliers will play the same day , in the same arena , against the Los Angeles Clippers ( 41 - 22 ) .
