The Cleveland Cavaliers (37 - 22) defeated the Golden State Warriors (44 - 11) 110 - 99 Cleveland's answer to Golden State's Splash Brothers was a dominant performance from LeBron James. James had a remarkable game with a season - high 42 points on 15 - of - 25 shooting from the field to go with 11 rebounds and five assists. When the first quarter ended, both teams were on pace to top 120 points on the night. From there, Cleveland pulled away and never let Golden State get too close. Whenever the Warriors seemed poised to make a run, the Cavaliers had an answer. Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson combined for 31 points on just 10 - of - 30 from the floor. Golden State has now dropped two of its last three games against Eastern Conference opponents. Shooting was a major issue throughout this game, as Golden State could n't seem to get into an offensive rhythm, especially in the second half. The Warriors entered the game shooting just under 48 percent from the field as a team, but were held to 42 percent on Thursday and 37 percent from beyond the arc. Golden State draws another tough Eastern Conference opponent Friday with a matchup against Toronto. The Cavaliers rode James' dominant performance to their 11th straight at home. Cleveland has now won 18 of their last 20 games overall. Center Timofey Mozgov pitched in a double - double with 10 points and 10 rebounds in 25 minutes of action. The Cavaliers have a meeting in Indiana with the Pacers on Friday, the team that snapped their 12 - game winning streak earlier this month.
