Cleveland Cavaliers Vs. Brooklyn Nets Game Highlights

Donovan Mitchell especially put on a show under the prime-time lights. He finished with a season-high 45 points, grabbed 12 rebounds, and dished out six assists. Spida joined LeBron James as one of only two players to post a stat line of this magnitude.

Jarrett Allen was another player who shined in the Cavs' win. He scored 12 points and grabbed 12 rebounds as JA continues to play like an All-Star-level center. This was also the big man's eight-straight double-double.

The reserves have been huge for the Cavaliers as they navigate life without Darius Garland and Evan Mobley. This was the case yet again as Caris LeVert scored 21 points off the bench and Georges Niang tallied 10 points of his own. 

The Cavs were in control of the game right from the jump. They never allowed the Nets to take the lead throughout the entire game and their largest lead climbed out to 26 points.

This was a big win for the Cavaliers as they took down a Nets team that is also in the playoff hunt. It was also a great opportunity for the Cavs to bond as a roster and do some once-in-a-lifetime sightseeing.

Cleveland won't play again until Monday so they can readjust to the time change. They'll take on the Chicago Bulls at Rocket Mortage FieldHouse at 6:30.
