LeBron James scored 34 points, Kyrie Irving dropped 24, and the Cavaliers ended a turbulent and troublesome March with an easy 122-105 win over the injury-weakened Philadelphia 76ers on Friday night in Cleveland.

James made 14 of 22 shots in 30 minutes as the Cavs ended a three-game losing streak and won for just the third time in eight games to end the month 7-10.

It’s been an alarming stretch for the NBA champions, who are running out of time to get tuned up for the postseason. But against the lowly Sixers, Cleveland regained some of its swagger before heading into April when the real fun begins. Kevin Love added 18 points and 10 rebounds as the Cavs won their ninth straight over the Sixers.

Richaun Holmes and Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot scored 19 apiece for Philadelphia, which dressed nine players after shutting down Jahlil Okafor and Robert Covington for the season with knee injuries.

The Cavs have been shaky for some time with defensive issues, injuries and inconsistency leading to questions about whether they can repeat. Following Thursday’s loss in Chicago, the Cavs held a players-only meeting to clear the air.

‘‘Guys talked,’’ coach Tyronn Lue said before the game. ‘‘Now we’ve got to move on and play. We’ve done enough talking over the last couple weeks. Now we just gotta settle in, we gotta play.’’

Cleveland remained a half-game behind Boston for the top spot in the Eastern Conference.

Spurs 100, Thunder 95 — Kawhi Leonard scored 27 points, and visiting San Antonio rallied from 21 points down in the third quarter to beat Oklahoma City.

The Spurs never led until the final minute. LaMarcus Aldridge’s dunk with 20.7 seconds left put the Spurs up, 96-95.

Oklahoma City’s Russell Westbrook drove to the hoop, but Aldridge blocked his shot. Leonard then drove the length of the floor, scored and was fouled. His free throw with 5.8 seconds left put the game out of reach.

Westbrook had 32 points, 15 rebounds, and 12 assists for his 39th triple-double of the season.

He needs two more to tie Oscar Robertson’s single-season record of 41 set during the 1961-62 season.

Raptors 111, Pacers 100 — DeMar DeRozan scored 40 points and host Toronto rolled to its seventh straight home win over Indiana.

DeRozan was 11 of 26 from the floor to register his 30th game of 30 points or more this season, tying Vince Carter’s 2000-01 franchise mark.

It was also DeRozan’s sixth 40-point game of the season.

Jonas Valanciunas had 16 points and 17 rebounds for his team-leading 28th double-double, while Serge Ibaka added 15 points and 12 rebounds.

Paul George led the Pacers with 28 points, while Jeff Teague added 19, but they were unable to prevent Indiana, currently holding the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, from its fifth loss in its last six games.

The Pacers’ last regular-season win in Toronto came on March 1, 2013.

Jazz 95, Wizards 88 — Rudy Gobert had 16 points and 10 rebounds, Gordon Hayward scored 19 points, and host Utah beat Washington.

 Hayward got hot late after struggling much of the night and led an 11-4 run that gave the Jazz an 85-80 edge. Washington never led again, and Bradley Beal’s turnover with 35 seconds left allowed Utah to close out the game from the free-throw line.

 Beal led Washington with 27 points and John Wall added 16.

Knicks 98, Heat 94 — Kristaps Porzingis scored 22 points and New York led nearly the entire way in beating host Miami.

Justin Holiday scored 12 for the Knicks, who played without Carmelo Anthony (back), Derrick Rose (knee), and Lance Thomas (hip). It was only the fourth win in the last 15 games for New York.

Goran Dragic scored 22 points and Hassan Whiteside had 17 points and 16 rebounds for Miami, which missed 15 of its final 16 attempts from 3-point range. Tyler Johnson scored 15 for the Heat. Even with the loss, Miami (37-39) held onto the No. 7 spot in the Eastern Conference standings because No. 8 Indiana (37-39) also lost.

Grizzlies 99, Mavericks 90 — Mike Conley scored 28 points, Zach Randolph added 22 points and 12 rebounds, and host Memphis clinched a playoff spot by beating Dallas.

Memphis had to weather a 3-point shooting rally in the closing minutes. Dallas made six of its first nine 3-point attempts in the final frame, a jumper by Wesley Matthews cutting Memphis’ advantage to 94-90 with just over a minute left. But Dallas could get no closer, dropping its fourth straight.

Bucks 108, Pistons 105 — Khris Middleton hit a 3-pointer with 40.7 seconds left in overtime, rookie Thon Maker scored a career-high 23 points, and host Milwaukee beat Detroit to move into fifth place in the Eastern Conference.

 Tobias Harris scored 23 points to lead the Pistons in a game of wild of swings. Detroit trailed by 18 in the first quarter, then led by 10 in the fourth quarter before the Bucks finished with a flourish.

Hornets 122, Nuggets 114 — Kemba Walker had 31 points, and Marco Belinelli and Frank Kaminsky took over in the fourth quarter as host Charlotte got past Denver.

Charlotte trailed by 8 entering the fourth, but scored 12 straight points to take control. Walker ignited the run with a long 3-pointer and then scored on a drive and drew a foul. Kaminsky, who had 22 points, and Belinelli each had three 3s in the fourth quarter as Charlotte outscored Denver 36-20 to essentially save its season.

The Hornets dealt a severe blow to Denver’s playoff chances. Both teams entered the game on the outside of the postseason bubble. Charlotte was 2½ games out of the eighth spot in the Eastern Conference, while the Nuggets were 1½ out of the eighth spot in the West.

Pelicans 117, Kings 89 — DeMarcus Cousins had 37 points and 13 rebounds in his first game against Sacramento, and host New Orleans routed the Kings.

Cousins had downplayed his first meeting with the team that drafted him in 2010 and traded him away this February, but his play looked inspired. He tied a career-high with five 3-pointers and executed a tricky, crowd-pleasing, cross-court bounce pass during a fast break. Anthony Davis added 19 points, 12 rebounds, and 5 blocks for the Pelicans.
