There's a specific reason why Cleveland's LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love are referred to as "The Big Three." Big-time situations call for big-time results, and in the Cavaliers' 111-106 overtime victory against Indiana Monday night, James, Irving and Love were the big difference-makers. Cleveland (35-12), which extended its winning streak to five, outscored the Pacers 15-10 in overtime with Irving scoring eight, James adding four and Love sinking a 3-pointer. Irving finished with a game-best 25 points, three rebounds and seven assists. James added 24 points, 12 rebounds and six assists, and Love added 19 points, eight rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocks. The trio finished 26 of 57 from the field. "It's only one of 82, but we knew what we came here to do, and that was to take care of business," Irving said. "We knew it would be a hard fought game in this arena, and we were locked in. They made a run in the third quarter, but we came back in the fourth quarter and overtime." Guard George Hill led the Pacers (25-23) with 23, and center Jordan Hill added 17 as Indiana lost for the seventh time in its last 10 games. It was Cleveland's first victory in Bankers Life Fieldhouse after 10 consecutive losses in the venue. The Cavs had not won in Bankers Life Fieldhouse since Jan. 29, 2010. Hawks 112, Mavericks 97: Led by point guard Jeff Teague's season-high 32 points, the Atlanta Hawks ended a three-game losing streak with a 112-97 win over the Dallas Mavericks. Teague shot 12-for-15 from the field, posting a season-best total for field goals made, and made a career-high five three-pointers. Teague added eight assists and five rebounds and came up two points short of his career best. Pistons 105, Nets 100: Andre Drummond collected 21 points and 18 rebounds for his league-leading 40th double-double and the Detroit Pistons blew a 10-point lead before recording a 105-100 victory over the Brooklyn Nets. Drummond reached 20 points for the 18th time by shooting 10-for-15 from the floor. His biggest shot was an easy dunk with 90 seconds remaining that broke a 98-98 deadlock. Thunder 114, Wizards 98: Kevin Durant scored 28 points to lead the Oklahoma City Thunder to a 114-98 victory over the Washington Wizards at Chesapeake Energy Arena. Grizzlies 110, Pelicans 95: Mike Conley keyed a 10-0 fourth-quarter run with a go-ahead three-pointer and a no-look assist to Marc Gasol to lift the Memphis Grizzlies to a 110-95 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans at Smoothie King Center. Spurs 107, Magic 92: LaMarcus Aldridge scored a season-high 28 points as the San Antonio Spurs shrugged off a lackluster performance in the middle two quarters and held off the Orlando Magic 107-92 to keep their home unbeaten streak intact.
