WASHINGTON -- The Cavs aren't so good when LeBron James doesn't play.
But when he plays his tail off, pulls out one of the most incredible shots you've seen in a regular-season game to send it to overtime, and then fouls out for the first time in three years, the Cavs are golden.
Kyrie Irving scored 11 of his 23 points in the extra session while James watched from the bench, and Cleveland pulled out a 140-135 victory over the Washington Wizards on Monday night.
Kevin Love paced Cleveland with 39 points to go with 12 rebounds.
