Cavaliers Rally Late to Beat Grizzlies 108-100
The fourth-quarter surge delivered a needed lift for a Cleveland team still searching for stability through early-season injuries.
Overview
- Cleveland flipped an eight-point deficit with a 32-16 fourth quarter, including a 27-8 run that put the game away.
- Donovan Mitchell finished with 30 points and scored 14 in the final period, hitting three fourth-quarter threes to lead the push.
- Evan Mobley overcame a quiet start to close strong and log a double-double, helping seal crucial stops and rebounds late.
- Ja Morant returned for Memphis but exited after an initial six-minute stint due to a calf strain, and the Grizzlies have dropped eight of nine.
- Role players fueled the turnaround, with Lonzo Ball hitting 3-of-5 from deep and contributing 9 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, Nae’Qwan Tomlin supplying high-energy minutes, and Jarrett Allen adding 16 points and 6 boards as Cleveland looks ahead to hosting Milwaukee.
