Text size:

Two nights after losing at Minnesota, the Cavs also had 24 points on 11-of-16 shooting from Evan Mobley and 23 points off the bench from Jaylon Tyson to rally past the Timberwolves.

"They got up 12 and we responded, did what we had to do and got the win," Mitchell said, noting the improvements from Thursday's loss.

"We made adjustments," he said. "We locked in, dialed in and did a good job. We kept our foot on the gas, they made some runs and we continued like always."

Darius Garland added 22 points for Cleveland while Sam Merrill contributed 20 points, hitting 5-of-6 three-point shots, and Jarrett Allen had 16 points and 11 rebounds.

Anthony Edwards led Minnesota with 25 points while Julius Randle had 22 and reserve Naz Reid contributed 23, hitting 5-of-6 three-point attempts.

The Cavaliers improved to 22-18, sixth in the Eastern Conference, while the T-Wolves slid to 25-14, fourth in the Western Conference.
