The Warriors, who shot 41 of 85 from the field, made only 12 of 32 triples, but Durant made the one that mattered the most --- a 26-footer that pushed the Warriors' lead to 116-104 with 1:50 left to play in the fourth quarter.

LeBron James led the Cavaliers with 32 points, 8 rebounds and six assists. But the King was hounded by 8 turnovers, missed both of his 3-point attempts and went just 8-of-13 from the free throw line. Isaiah Thomas had a productive 19 points and 4 assists while Kevin Love added 17 and 7 boards, but the Cavs got little support from the rest of their starters and the bench. The Warriors have won three straight and 8 of their last 10. They currently lead the league's overall standings with a 36-9 slate. Their next assignment is against the surging Chicago Bulls tomorrow at the United Center. The Cavaliers, meanwhile, have dropped four in a row and have won only two of their last 10 outings.
