CLEVELAND (AP) — Evan Mobley scored 17 points, Jarrett Allen added 17 points and 13 rebounds, and the Cleveland Cavaliers bounced back from a humiliating loss in Miami 24 hours earlier by beating the Charlotte Hornets 115-92 on Monday night. evening.
Mobley also set a career high with eight assists and seven rebounds in just 25 minutes. It was his second game after being absent in nine due to a sprained ankle.
The Cavs were beaten by 37 points on Sunday by the Heat, who led by as many as 45 at one point in the game. The loss seemingly bottomed out a tired, injury-dealing Cleveland team that was plummeting in the Eastern Conference standings.
But a matchup against the faltering Hornets was all the Cavaliers needed to snap a three-game losing streak.
Georges Niang hit five 3-pointers and scored 17 points for Cleveland, which had lost six of eight and came into the game four games ahead of a spot in the play-in tournament after being one of the East’s best teams for months.
