The Cavaliers earned their 16th straight home win despite being held scoreless in the final 4:04. The Cavaliers, coming off a stretch that had them play 14 of 19 games on the road, struggled to put away the team with the third-worst record in the league. Love re-injured his back, which has bothered him all season, while leaping for a pass and walked directly to the locker room. Shumpert hurt his ankle while missing a breakaway dunk in the second quarter. Thompson scored on alley-oop dunks on two possessions early in the second quarter with assists from G Matthew Dellavedova.
