Cavaliers 113, Heat 93: LeBron James had 18 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists as host Cleveland snapped an 11-game losing streak against Miami.

Timofey Mozgov scored 20 points on 9-of-11 shooting and Tristan Thompson was 7-of-8 en route to 17 points as the Cavaliers won their 10th straight at home. Kyrie Irving scored 15 points and Iman Shumpert chipped in 13 for Cleveland, which lost forward Kevin Love to a right corneal abrasion in the third quarter.

Mario Chalmers led the Heat with 18 points while Hassan Whiteside collected 17 points and 14 rebounds. Luol Deng also scored 17 points and Chris Bosh finished with 15 on 5-of-17 shooting for Miami, which dropped its fourth straight road game while playing its seventh in a row without star swingman Dwyane Wade (hamstring).

Thompson had seven points in a dominant 22-4 run late in the first quarter and James scored seven points in a 12-1 burst early in the second as Cleveland built a commanding 52-26 lead. Miami crawled within 11 points at the break but the Cavaliers regained control with the first nine points of the third - four by James - to claim a 20-point advantage.

Chalmers beat the third-quarter buzzer with a long jumper and opened the scoring in the fourth with another basket to make it 85-71. Shawn Marion's three-point play moments later ignited a 10-2 spurt and Cleveland cruised to its 14th win in 15 games.

GAME NOTEBOOK:
Love, who had 12 points when he left the game after being hit in the right eye by Chalmers, will be re-evaluated Thursday. ... Cleveland's last win in the series came March 29, 2011, when James was in his first season with the Heat. ... Heat rookie PG Shabazz Napier had a career-high eight assists in 25 minutes.
