Donovan Mitchell led the Cleveland Cavaliers (34-16) to a resounding 118-95 victory over the short-handed Brooklyn Nets (20-31), extending their winning streak to eight games.
Alongside Mitchell’s standout performance, Evan Mobley, Jarrett Allen, and Darius Garland contributed 14 points each, showcasing the Cavaliers’ depth and offensive firepower.
Despite a strong effort from Mikal Bridges, who scored 26 points for the Nets, Brooklyn struggled to contain Cleveland’s relentless attack throughout the game.
The Nets made significant moves at the trade deadline, acquiring Dennis Schroder, Thaddeus Young, Keita Bates-Diop, Jordan Goodwin, and Vanja Marinkovic in various trades.
Tensions escalated in the second half when a scuffle erupted between Ben Simmons and Jarrett Allen, resulting in both players receiving technical fouls.
