| February 3, 2013 8:00 PM

Kyrie Irving scored 35 points, including 13 in the final 2:52, as the Cleveland Cavaliers stunned the visiting Oklahoma City Thunder 115-110 on Saturday night.

One night after saying he was "disinterested" during a loss in Detroit, Irving was simply spectacular down the stretch. He single-handedly closed out one of the NBA's best teams, making his last five shots and showing why he's an All-Star at 20. Irving's biggest shot was a 3-pointer with 42 seconds left to make it 113-108.

Bulls 93, Hawks 76: Luol Deng had 25 points and 14 rebounds, and short-handed Chicago used its stifling defense to win at Atlanta.

Knicks 120, Kings 81: Amare Stoudemire was 10 for 10 from the field for 21 points, and host New York unleashed a 38-4 run on Sacramento in the first half and clobbered the Kings for its fourth straight victory.

Warriors 113, Suns 93: At Oakland, Calif., Stephen Curry returned after missing two games with an ankle injury and scored 19 of his 29 points in the second half, helping Golden State beat Phoenix.

Trail Blazers 105, Jazz 99: Damian Lillard had 23 points and Portland beat visiting Utah.

Timberwolves 115, Hornets 86: At Minneapolis, Dante Cunningham scored a season-high 18 points, Nikola Pekovic added 14 and Minnesota beat New Orleans to stop its six-game losing streak.

Rockets 109, Bobcats 95: James Harden had 21 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists for his first career triple-double in Houston's win over visiting Charlotte.

Bucks 107, Magic 98: Monta Ellis scored 21 points and Brandon Jennings had 20 as host Milwaukee handed Orlando its ninth straight loss.
