The Cleveland Cavaliers (27 - 9) beat the Dallas Mavericks (22 - 17) 110 - 107 in an overtime thriller on Tuesday. Dallas has made a living off winning the turnover battle this season, but it was dominated in that department Tuesday. The Mavericks committed 16 turnovers to the Cavaliers' nine and that was ultimately the difference in the game. The Mavericks actually shot nearly 50 percent from the field which far outweighed the 41 percent Cleveland shot, but the Cavs simply made more big plays in overtime to pull out the big win. Cleveland is happy to have Kyrie Irving back in the fold and that couldn’t have been more evident than with this performance here. Not only did he hit a huge three late in OT, he finished the game with 22 points and nine assists. LeBron James was the star of the show though, as he tallied 27 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists in another MVP-type performance. Only four bench players played for the Cavs, but the three who played at least 20 minutes all scored in double - figures. On deck for the Cavaliers is a fantastic matchup, in which they'll stay in Texas to take on a San Antonio Spurs team that has yet to lose at home this season. The Mavericks continue to be an undervalued team and they nearly pulled off a huge win here. In fact, the last six times they have been an underdog by six or more points, they have covered five of those games including this one here. It was the starters that carried the load for this deep Dallas team, as the five of them combined for 83 points. Chandler Parsons scored a season - high 25 points and also grabbed eight rebounds in a great game. Deron Williams, Dirk Nowitzki and Zaza Pachulia all recorded double - doubles in what's been bounce - back years for all three of these veterans. This does go down as a loss in the record book, but other teams are surely taking note of the Mavs continuous quality play. Dallas will look to keep up the good ball against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday in their next game. Keep in mind that that matchup will be the second half of a back - to - back and some starters may be rested after this overtime loss.
