Cavaliers move up to 17-1

MANILA, Philippines — Donovan Mitchell and reserve Ty Jerome each scored 26 points to spark the NBA-best Cleveland Cavaliers over Toronto, 122-108, on Sunday while Boston and Miami took narrow triumphs over Minnesota, 107-105, and Dallas, 123-118, in overtime.

Jarrett Allen added 23 points and 13 rebounds for the Cavaliers, who improved to 17-1 on the season, while Gradey Dick and Scottie Barnes each scored 18 to lead the Raptors.

The Cavaliers began the campaign 15-0 before losing 120-117 at Boston last Tuesday, but Cleveland bounced back to beat New Orleans the next night and stayed hot against Toronto, improving to 10-0 at home.

“It’s a special place to play and we feel it on the court,” Mitchell said.
