Cleveland Cavaliers Extend Winning Streak with Victory Over Memphis Grizzlies

The Cleveland Cavaliers extended their winning streak to seven games with a hard-fought 129-123 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday night at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. The game, broadcast nationally on ESPN, showcased the Cavaliers’ depth and resilience despite the absence of key starter Darius Garland, who was sidelined with a left hip contusion.

Donovan Mitchell led the charge for Cleveland, scoring a game-high 26 points, including a crucial dunk in the final minutes to seal the win. Evan Mobley delivered a standout performance, flirting with a triple-double by tallying 25 points, 13 rebounds, and eight assists. Ty Jerome provided a significant spark off the bench, scoring 15 of his 26 points in the fourth quarter to help the Cavs maintain their lead.

The Cavaliers dominated the boards, outrebounding the Grizzlies 57-37, including a season-high 22 offensive rebounds. This effort was critical in overcoming a strong Memphis team led by Ja Morant, who finished with 21 points, and Jaren Jackson Jr., who contributed 22 points.

Despite a late push by the Grizzlies, including a three-point play by Jackson that cut the lead to 124-121 with 42 seconds remaining, Cleveland held on for the win. Mitchell’s free throws and a missed opportunity by Jackson at the line in the closing seconds secured the victory.

The Cavaliers improved to 47-10 on the season, maintaining their dominance at home with a 27-4 record at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. Meanwhile, the Grizzlies, now 37-20, remain a strong contender in the Western Conference. The win further solidifies Cleveland’s position as one of the top teams in the NBA, showcasing their ability to perform under pressure and adapt to adversity.
