Cleveland— Kevin Love scored 27 points, Kyrie Irving added 25 and the Cleveland Cavaliers led by as many as 45 points in a 128-90 rout of the Dallas Mavericks on Friday night.

Love hit seven 3-pointers while Irving, who made his first 10 shots, scored 19 points in the first quarter. Irving’s big quarter came two nights after Love scored an NBA-record 34 in the first against Portland.

LeBron James, playing in his 1,000th regular-season game, had 19 points and 11 assists.

The defending NBA champions faced little resistance from the team with the league’s worst record. Dallas scored the game’s first basket before the Cavaliers turned the game into a rout. Cleveland led 36-16 after one quarter and was ahead 68-28 late in the second.

Dirk Nowitzki, who appeared in only his fifth game of the season because of an injured right Achilles, scored 15 points for Dallas.

Knicks 113, Hornets 111 (ot)

New York — Carmelo Anthony scored a season-high 35 points, including the tiebreaking jumper with 3.1 seconds left in overtime, and New York beat Charlotte.

Derrick Rose added 16 points and blocked Kemba Walker’s 3-pointer that would have won it just before the buzzer. Kristaps Porzingis also scored 16 points in the Knicks’ sixth straight home victory.

Jazz 95, Hawks 68

Salt Lake City — Gordon Hayward scored 24 points as Utah beat Atlanta.

The Hawks have now lost four of five after starting the season a red-hot 9-2.

Hayward was unstoppable early and started the game making his first six shots. Utah used a 23-2 run early in the fourth quarter to put the game away as George Hill hit a pair 3-pointers and Rudy Gobert converted a three-point play.

Pistons 108, Clippers 97

Auburn Hills, Mich. — Kentavious Caldwell-Pope had 16 points and a career-high 10 assists as Detroit beat Los Angeles.

Detroit won its second straight and improved to 7-2 at home, as opposed to 1-7 on the road. The Clippers lost for just the second time in 13 games, falling to 7-1 on the road.

Bulls 105, Sixers 89

Philadelphia — Jimmy Butler and Dwayne Wade had 26 points apiece to lead Chicago over Philadelphia.

Taj Gibson added 12 points for the Bulls, who finished a six-game road trip with a 4-2 record. Butler rested for the entire fourth quarter of the blowout.

Wizards 94, Magic 91

Orlando, Fla. — John Wall had 26 points and 10 assists to help Washington hold on for a victory over Orlando.

Pacers 118, Nets 97

Indianapolis — Glenn Robinson III scored 20 points and grabbed five rebounds as Indiana beat Brooklyn.

The Pacers opened the second half with a 20-5 run and led by as many 31 points.

Heat 90, Grizzlies 81

Memphis, Tenn. — Tyler Johnson matched his season high with 22 points, Dion Waiters added 15 and the Heat snapped their two-game losing streak.

James Johnson added 13 points and Josh Richardson finished with 12 for Miami in the game that matched Heat coach Erik Spoelstra against his former assistant, first-year Memphis coach David Fizdale.

Raptors 105, Bucks 99

Milwaukee — DeMar DeRozan scored 26 points and Kyle Lowry added 19 to lead Toronto over Milwaukee.
