Stephen Curry may be the MVP favorite, but LeBron James proved that he's still the game's best player.
In an entertaining, high-speed evening and a potential NBA Finals preview, James and the Cleveland Cavaliers collected their 18th win the last 20 games with a nationally televised 110-99 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Thursday night at The Q.
Cleveland hasn't won at Indiana since Jan. 29, 2010, and fell to the Pacers this season 103-99 on Feb. 6.

Kyrie Irving did not travel with the Cleveland Cavaliers to Indiana last night after their win over the Golden State Warriors. He missed parts of the third and fourth quarter with a shoulder injury before coming back and playing through it. He seemed non-committal with Allie Clifton after the game about playing tonight's game with the Pacers.
After the game, the Cavs announced that Irving will get an MRI on the shoulder. It will be disappointing if Irving can't play, but it makes sense for the Cavs to take every precaution. We are less than two months away from the playoffs and every game counts, but it's much more important to be ready in late April, May, and hopefully June.
Cleveland continued its strong play with the 110-99 win over the Warriors as forward LeBron James scored a season-best 42 points and grabbed 11 rebounds. James averaged just 18.5 points over the previous two games before turning it up a notch against Golden State. The Pacers are at home for eight of their next nine games and see the homestand as an opportunity to make a move in terms of landing an Eastern Conference playoff spot.

All-Star forward Paul George (broken leg) participated in his first full practice Thursday and Indiana remains hopeful the standout will return soon. George suggested to reporters that home games on March 14 and 16 are in his target range, but he admitted there are some hurdles to overcome before that can happen.
