2. Cleveland vs. Dallas Mavericks

One of the Cavs’ closest game came toward the end of the season on March 16, 2016 against the Dallas Mavericks, who had given them trouble before. LeBron was sitting out this game for rest, so the Cavs needed every little ounce they could get from the rest of the team. Behind Kyrie and Love, the team was able to squeak out a one point win.

Kyrie scored 33 points, grabbed five rebounds, dished out one assists and had one steal and one block. Love followed next with 23 points, an outstanding 18 rebounds, one assist and two blocks. Channing Frye stepped up for the team with 14 points on 5-of-7 shooting and 3-of-5 on threes. Smith also added 13 points, four rebounds, four assists, and three steals, while Dellavedova added eight points, seven assists and one steal.

The Cavs survived the game without LeBron and won by a point, with a final score of 99-98.
