Caris LeVert, Evan Mobley, and Jarrett Allen propelled the Cleveland Cavaliers (46-30) to a convincing 129-113 victory over the Utah Jazz (29-47) on Tuesday night.
LeVert, starting in place of Donovan Mitchell, scored 26 points, while Mobley and Allen contributed 21 points each. Sam Merrill added 18 points off the bench.
The Cavaliers capitalized on the absence of key Jazz players, including Lauri Markkanen and John Collins, to secure a much-needed road victory.
Despite a commendable effort from rookie Brice Sensabaugh, who matched his season-high with 22 points, the Jazz couldn’t overcome Cleveland’s balanced attack.
Collin Sexton contributed 19 points and seven assists, while Taylor Hendricks added 18 points for Utah.
The win keeps the Cavaliers in contention for number two seed in the Eastern Conference. They trail 1.5 games behind the Milwaukee Bucks.
