Both teams entered the game riding double-digit win streaks and the game played out like a heavyweight tilt. The score was rarely beyond two possessions throughout, but a late Cavs run that featured clutch shooting and a few big stops secured a 129-122 win for the East's top seed.

The Cavs extended their winning streak to 11, improved the league’s best record to 32-4 — 11-0 against the West — and moved to 19-1 at home.

In what could be an NBA Finals preview, the Cavs topped Oklahoma City, 129-122, handing the 30-win Thunder their first loss since Dec. 1. Cleveland improves its record to a league-best 32-4.
