Donovan Mitchell torches San Antonio Spurs in Cleveland Cavaliers victory

Donovan Mitchell had another outstanding performance, as he led the Cleveland Cavaliers to a 117-101 victory over Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs at Frost Bank Center

The Cleveland Cavaliers have been one of the hottest teams in the NBA and they kept it rolling tonight. After a disappointing round 1 exit last in last seasons playoffs, they are looking dominant this year and have all the pieces to make a deep playoff push. With an All-Star caliber point guard in Darius Garland, a defensive frontcourt in Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen, and a solidified superstar in Donovan Mitchell, the Cavs can compete with any team in the NBA when things are clicking.

Tonight was one of those nights, as the 5-time All-Star scored 31 points to go along with his 8 rebounds and 7 assists. Mitchell got into a scuffle with Zach Collins in the last minute of the game and got ejected. Jarrett Allen had a huge 26-point, 16 rebound double-double while third year power forward Evan Mobley recorded 28 points and 10 rebounds.

For the Spurs, Victor Wembanyama led the way with 19 points, 14 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks. Devin Vassell scored 26 points with 6 rebounds and 3 assists, and Keldon Johnson poured in 17 points off the bench.

This win improves the Cavs to 31-16, which makes them 3rd in the Eastern Conference and 1 game behind the 2nd seeded Milwaukee Bucks. Cleveland is 9-1 over their last 10 games and currently on a 5-game winning streak. Their next game will be on Monday night against the Sacramento Kings.

Meanwhile, this loss drops the Spurs to10-40, which makes them 15th in the Western Conference. San Antonio is 3-7 over their last 10 games and currently on a 4-game losing streak. Their next game will be on Wednesday night against the Miami Heat.
