The Cleveland Cavaliers showcased their offensive firepower in a commanding 124-113 win over the Utah Jazz on Monday night, with Darius Garland leading the charge.
The All-Star guard poured in 23 points, but he wasn’t alone in lighting up the scoreboard.
The Cavs displayed remarkable team chemistry as four players crossed the 20-point mark.
Donovan Mitchell added 22 points against his former team, while Evan Mobley delivered a complete performance with 22 points, 10 rebounds, and 3 blocks.
Sam Merrill made the most of his rare start, draining six 3-pointers en route to a season-high 20 points.
This dominant team performance caught the attention of NBA Insider Sam Amico, who shared his thoughts on “Full Court Cleveland.”
“When they play this well, they can go the distance. They have that type of ability to do that. When you’re talking about being unstoppable with the ball moving and those shots go in, everybody’s making shots, not just two or three guys, but when everybody’s making them, they’re going to be really tough to beat in a seven-game series.” Amico emphasized.
