The Cleveland Cavaliers (34 - 12) defeated the San Antonio Spurs (39 - 8) 117 - 103 at Quicken Loans Arena on Saturday. Two of the toughest competitors have bested the Spurs over the past week, as the Cleveland Cavaliers joined the Golden State Warriors in defeating Gregg Popovich and his basketball machine. The Spurs were once again without Tim Duncan (knee), who should return to the lineup on Tuesday, and the effects are beginning to take notice. Before the injury, Duncan was leading the league in defensive efficiency and his passing ability has always been a staple to the Spurs game. David West got the nod in Duncan’s absence, but is far from as efficient to the five time champions. West finished with eight points, three rebounds and one assist in 23 minutes. Kawhi Leonard led San Antonio in scoring and contributed 24 points, six rebounds and two assists on 7 - of - 15 shooting. LaMarcus Aldridge was efficient in the effort, scoring 15 points on 11 shots, but was almost invisible in the rebounding battle, as he grabbed a lowly two boards. The Spurs will host the Orlando Magic (20 - 25) on Monday. Cleveland was able to exploit the Duncan-less smallball lineup and earned strong performances from all five starters, who finished in double figures. LeBron James was unstoppable on the drive, and more impressive chasing down Manu Ginobili in transition. James finished with a game high 29 points, five rebounds, seven assists and two blocks (both on Ginobili) on 10 - of - 17 shooting in 34 minutes. Kevin Love put together one of his best games of the season, scoring 21 points, to go along with 11 rebounds and three assists on 8 - of - 13 shooting, while Kyrie Irving was the third Cavs member to score 20 - plus points. The Cavs will visit Indiana Pacers (25 - 22) on Monday.
