Cavaliers use late run to beat banged-up Nuggets

  • On Friday night at Rocket Arena, the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the short-handed Denver Nuggets 113-108 as Donovan Mitchell scored 33 and Darius Garland added 18 points and eight assists.
  • With Jokic sidelined, the Nuggets were also missing three starters—Aaron Gordon, Cam Johnson and Christian Braun—and backup center Jonas Valanciunas is out for a month.
  • Trailing 105-101 with 4:43 left, the Cavaliers scored 10 consecutive points, took the lead on a 3-pointer with 2:13 left, and Jarrett Allen's rebound led to a Mitchell dunk.
  • Holding the Nuggets to 4 of 20 shooting and dominating the rebounding 55-32, Evan Mobley contributed despite missing all five free throws.
  • With another quick turnaround, Cleveland faces Detroit at home Sunday as the Mitchell-Garland-Mobley-Allen lineup records its seventh start and fifth win amid a multi-game positive run.
