All-Star Darius Garland was a standout performer, scoring 30 points with 18 coming in a remarkable fourth-quarter rally.
Cleveland’s dynamic duo of Jarrett Allen, who contributed 23 points and 13 rebounds, and Evan Mobley, who posted 21 points, nine rebounds, and six assists, played vital roles in the team’s stunning comeback from an 18-point deficit in the third quarter. The Cavaliers, with a record of 55-10, are now tied for the fifth-best start in NBA history and boast a league-leading 30-4 home record.
Despite missing key players such as Donovan Mitchell, De’Andre Hunter, and Ty Jerome, the Cavaliers displayed resilience and determination to secure another impressive victory. On the other side, Cam Thomas led the Nets with 27 points, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the Cavaliers’ relentless performance.
The game’s key moment came in the final minute when Garland’s decisive layup and clutch free throws extended Cleveland’s lead to secure the win. With this victory, the Cavaliers clinched the Central Division title for the eighth time in their history.
Looking ahead, the Nets will face off against the Chicago Bulls, while the Cavaliers are set to play against the Memphis Grizzlies in their next matchups.
