The Cleveland Cavaliers (31 - 20) continued their hot streak Thursday by dismantling the Los Angeles Clippers (33 - 17) 105 - 94 at the Quicken Loans Arena in a game that was not nearly as close as the score would suggest. The Cavaliers had the luxury of resting their starters for the fourth quarter as they entered the period with a commanding 94 - 63 lead. LeBron James and Kevin Love were dominant when they were on the floor, scoring 23 and 24 points respectively. The Clippers were clearly flustered with the game quickly getting out of hand in the third quarter as Chris Paul and DeAndre Jordan each picked up a technical foul and Matt Barnes got ejected after his second. Los Angeles is now 2 - 3 on its current eight game road trip. The Clippers let a win get away Monday in Brooklyn and did not bring their best effort to Cleveland. J.J Redick was sidelined for Thursday's contest with back spasms, which led to Jamal Crawford getting the start at shooting guard. Los Angeles will look to get the taste of Thursday's loss out of its mouth Friday in Toronto. Cleveland has now won 12 straight games to pull into a tie with Washington for the third seed in the East. In addition to James and Love's solid games, Cleveland got good performances from J.R Smith and Timofey Mozgov. The Cavaliers are rounding into form and look like the team that many predicted to come out of the East before the season started. Cleveland will travel to Indiana on Friday to finish out a back - to - back set.
