LeBron James scored 31 points, Kyrie Irving added 26, Kyle Korver made six 3-pointers and the Cleveland Cavaliers rolled into the All-Star break with their seventh win in eight games, beating the Indiana Pacers 113-104.
Korver finished with 22 points and became the seventh player with 2,000 career three pointers - as the NBA champions pulled away and improved to 7-1 in February.
And while most of the Cavs will relax over the weekend, James and Irving are headed to New Orleans for Sunday's All-Star game.
"This is the way we wanted to play coming into February and the guys are excellent so far in this month," James said.
"The break is going to be good for everybody. It gives guys an opportunity - if they have some nicks and bruises and things of that nature."
