The Cleveland Cavaliers (52 - 29) defeated the Detroit Pistons (31 - 50) 109 - 97 on Monday. J.R. Smith hit eight three - pointers to lead the Cavs past the Pistons. His teammate Kyrie Irving went 2 - for - 3 from three - point land, but sat out the second half as a precautionary measure when his hip tightened up. Matthew Dellavedova stepped in at point guard for Cleveland and finished with two points, five assists and no turnovers in 31 minutes. LeBron James had 21 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds for his second triple - double of the season. The last one came against the Chicago Bulls back on Apr. 5. Cleveland has the second seed locked up in the Eastern Conference. They are just waiting to see who lands in the seventh spot when the regular season concludes on Wednesday. They're 4 - 2 in April and finish up with the Washington Wizards on Wednesday in Cleveland. The Pistons had all five starters plus Jodie Meeks score in double figures, but it was n't enough to stop the Cavs. Even with Irving out of the lineup in the second half, they could n't overcome the 15 - point lead Cleveland had at halftime. Andre Drummond lead Detroit with 20 points, nine rebounds and three blocks. It was the first time Drummond played 30 or more minutes and did n't record 10 rebounds since Feb. 28. The Pistons are 2 - 5 in April and will look to end their season on a positive note when they take on the New York Knicks in Madison Square Garden.
