14. Cleveland vs. Portland Trail Blazers

Just a few weeks after beating out the Hornets, the Cavs had another close game. They played the Portland Trail Blazers on Dec. 8, 2015 and managed to win by just five points again. Kyrie and Shumpert were still unable to play. While LeBron was once again the high scorer and Kevin Love was the second highest scorer, the Cavs got much-needed boosts of energy from different sources this time.

LeBron scored 33 points on 14-of-24 shooting, grabbed 10 rebounds, dished out three assists and had two steals and three blocks. Love had 18 points, shooting 8-of-10 on free throws, and added four rebounds, four assists and four steals.

Dellavedova had a great game, scoring 17 points on 7-of-12 shooting and 3-of-5 from three. He also had three rebounds, three assists and one steal. Mo Williams scored 13 points on 5-of-10 shooting and recorded two rebounds and two assists. Smith added eight points, while Jefferson and Jared Cunningham each added seven points.

The Cavs won the game 105-100.
