Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Kyrie Irving shooting over Phoenix Suns centre Tyson Chandler in the Cavs' 118-103 win at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland on Thursday.
Irving (26 points) combined with Cavs superstar LeBron James for 47 points in a comfortable win, ahead of Saturday's crunch clash with the San Antonio Spurs.
James was one rebound shy of a triple-double after scoring 21 points and matching his season-high of 15 assists.
The Spurs were also victorious on Thursday, beating the Denver Nuggets 118-104 with 34 points from Kawhi Leonard and a career-high 24 points from rookie Dejounte Murray.
