NBA Monday: Cavaliers outlast Pacers in OT, Thunder pouring it on against Wizards

Irving led the way with 25 points -- including eight in overtime -- while James added 24 points, 12 rebounds and six assists. Love chipped in 19. But it was the defense -- which has struggled mightily at points this season -- that saved the Cavaliers in the fourth quarter when their offense stopped clicking.

Cleveland was unconscious in the first half, hitting 61.9 percent from the field to jump out to a 60-49 lead. The team was sprinting down the court and jumping into a fastbreak on every occasion.
