Malik Beasley delivered 15 points and five rebounds. Khris Middleton generated a 13-point, 11-assist double-double that included three rebounds and three steals.

Donovan Mitchell returned from a four-game absence to lead the Cavaliers with 34 points, which he complemented with nine assists, six rebounds, two steals and one block. Jarrett Allen generated a 30-point, 12-rebound double-double that included six assists and two blocks. Craig Porter netted 14 points, while Max Strus managed 12 points, four rebounds, two assists, four steals and two blocks.
