ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -- Dion Waiters scored 26 points, Spencer Hawes and Tristan Thompson had 20 each, and the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Orlando Magic 119-98 on Wednesday night.
Kyrie Irving added 17 points, eight assists and six rebounds in his first game back after missing eight with strained left biceps. Jarrett Jack scored 13 points for the Cavaliers, who have won five of their last six and are trying to catch Atlanta for the final Eastern Conference playoff spot. The Cavs visit the Hawks on Friday.
Victor Oladipo scored 16 points, Doron Lamb had 14 and Tobias Harris 11 for the Magic. Maurice Harkless was the only Orlando starter in double figures with 10 points. E'Twaun Moore also scored 10.
Every Cleveland player in uniform scored as the Cavs shot 60.5 percent in the first half and 57.7 percent for the game in rolling over a defenseless Magic team that lost its second straight.
Cleveland was nine of 18 from beyond the 3-point line, most of them wide-open looks as Orlando struggled with defensive rotations the entire game.
Cleveland scored a season-high 70 points in the first half with four of the five starters already in double figures by halftime. Hawes was 6 for 8 in the first two periods, including 4 for 5 on 3-pointers on his way to 18 points.

The Magic trailed 49-42 after Oladipo's 3-pointer with 6:11 left in the second quarter, but got only one field goal the rest of the half and were outscored 21-6 as Cleveland rolled to a 70-47 halftime lead.
The closest Orlando got in the second half was 17 when Arron Afflalo's 3 with 4:11 left in the third quarter made it 82-65. Afflalo, the Magic's leading scorer this season, finished with seven points.
Cleveland responded with a 10-0 run that started with a floater in the lane by Jack and ended with two free throws by Thompson to make it 92-65.
Cleveland led by as many 28 points and cruised through the fourth quarter with little effort.
