Mitchell, Harden spark Cavs past Hornets for seventh straight win

Donovan Mitchell scored 32 and Jarrett Allen added 26 on 11-of-15 as the Cavaliers defeated the Hornets 118-113 to extend their win streak to seven. Cleveland benefited from elite offense with James Harden on the floor (143.5 offensive rating on the night) and strong rim play, while Allen dominated inside and the defense anchored by the paint. Charlotte, hampered by Evan Mobley’s absence, relied on 23 offensive rebounds for 37 second-chance points but couldn’t overcome Cleveland’s inside-out scoring and efficient shooting. Mitchell’s scoring surge remains a driving force for a Cavs team that often wins when he hits 30-plus, and Harden’s presence continues to elevate the offense.

Cavaliers Dominate Warriors, Highlighting Golden State's Roster Challenges

The Golden State Warriors suffered a significant 136-117 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers, highlighting their struggles against dominant big men like Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen.
