The Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Portland Trail Blazers, 137 - 125, at Quicken Loans Arena on Wednesday. Kevin Love has looked much more comfortable with the Cavs this season and it really showed in this dominating win. Love set an NBA-record with 34 first - quarter points, going 8 - of - 11 from three - point range. He finished the game with just 40 points, but that was still a career - best with Cleveland. The Cavaliers offense was clicking on all cylinders, as they shot 53 percent (48 - of - 90) from the field and 58 percent from three - point range (21 - of - 36). Portland's offense was n't far behind, as they went 47 - of - 90 from the field to shoot 52 percent/. Cleveland's 81 - point first half fell just shy of a franchise - records for both teams. Portland (8 - 9) have really struggled on defense this season and this loss may have been the most embarrassing one thus far. Damian Lillard did all he could on offense though, as he tallied 40 points, seven rebounds and 11 assists on 13 - of - 21 shooting in the defeat. C.J. McCollum struggled, going just 5 - of - 12 from the field en route to 13 points, one rebound and two assists. Mason Plumlee went 9 - of - 10 from the field to score 19 points, but grabbed just four rebounds in 23 minutes of action. Evan Turner was the only bench player to score more than seven points, as he dropped 17 points on 7 - of - 13 shooting. Portland will look to get out of this slump on Friday against the surging New Orleans Pelicans for their next game. Cleveland (11 - 2) have not let up one bit after their championship campaign from last year and offensive showcases like this show why they're so good. Kevin Love was the star, as he scored an NBA-record 34 points in the first quarter and finished the game with 40 points. LeBron James may have been the player of the game though, as he accumulated 31 points, 10 rebounds, 13 assists and three steals in the win. Kyrie Irving finished with 20 points and six assists of his own. Channing Frye went 4 - for - 6 from three - point range en route to a bench - leading 14 points. The Cavaliers will return to action on Friday in a home matchup against the struggling Dallas Mavericks.
