Kevin Love scored 39 points as the Cleveland Cavaliers stopped the Washington Wizards' 17-game home winning streak, with a thrilling 140-135 overtime win on Monday night, despite LeBron James fouling out for the first time in more than three years.

Kyrie Irving had 11 of his 23 points in overtime. Seven of those came in the final 62 seconds for the Cavaliers, who forced overtime on a miraculous three-pointer off the backboard by James with 0.3 of a second left in regulation.

James finished with 32 points and career-high 17 assists before picking up his sixth foul with 4:13 remaining in overtime.

Meanwhile, Goran Dragic scored 33 points, including a career-high seven three-pointers, and Hassan Whiteside had 19 points and 13 rebounds as Miami Heat extended their winning streak to 11 games by overtaking the Minnesota Timberwolves 115-113.

Dragic made his first seven three-point attempts and was 13 of 17 from the field for the game. He added nine assists for Miami, which have the current longest winning streak in the NBA and are one behind the season-best, 12-game streak by Golden State.

Rodney McGruder had 15 points for Miami, which held on despite Minnesota closing within a basket several times in the fourth quarter. Karl-Anthony Towns had 35 points for the Timberwolves, who have lost four games in a row.

Pacers 93, Thunder 90

Paul George had 21 points, including a clutch basket with 1:20 remaining, and Indiana extended their season-best winning streak to seven.

Thunder guard Russell Westbrook, who finished with 27 points, 18 rebounds and nine assists, missed two potential game-tying 3-pointers in the final 7.8 seconds, including one at the buzzer.

Jeff Teague added 17 points for Indiana, who won despite shooting only 37.9 per cent from the field.

Lakers 121, Knicks 107

Los Angeles won in Madison Square Garden to snap a 13-game road losing streak.

The Lakers had not won on the road since beating the Philadelphia 76ers 100-89 on December 16. Los Angeles posted their first win at the Garden since February 11, 2011. Lou Williams scored 22 points to lead seven Lakers in double figures.

Sacramento's DeMarcus Cousins finished with 18 points, 14 rebounds and five assists, but he was ejected after his second technical foul in the final seconds. He earned a one-game suspension for the Kings' Wednesday contest against the Boston Celtics, an automatic punishment for reaching 16 T's on the season.
