CLEVELAND (AP) --- Donovan Mitchell had 28 points and eight assists, Jaylon
Tyson scored 16 of his 24 points in the third quarter and the Cleveland
Cavaliers rallied to beat the San Antonio Spurs 130-117 on Friday night.
Evan Mobley had 17 points and 10 rebounds, and Dean Wade added 12 points and
eight rebounds for Cleveland, which won for the second time in its last six
games and snapped a two-game skid at Rocket Arena. Mobley and Wade also each
had five assists.
The Cavaliers, who trailed by 10 throughout the first half, used a 23-4 run in
the third quarter to pull in front 98-81. Tyson scored 11 points during the 5
1/2-minute surge that fueled a 44-point period, giving Cleveland a 108-91 lead.
Devin Vassell had 25 of his 28 points and made seven 3-pointers in the first
half for the Spurs. De'Aaron Fox had 25 points and nine assists, and Keldon
Johnson added 14 points off the bench.
Vassell's 13 points in the first quarter and 25 in the opening half were season
highs for San Antonio, which is 4-3 during its ongoing stretch of playing in
nine cities over an 18-day span. The Spurs only play once at home between Nov.
21 and Dec. 16.
Spurs rstar Victor Wembanyama missed his 10th straight game with left calf
tightness, while guard Stephon Castle sat out his ninth in a row with left hip
soreness. Coach Mitch Johnson said both are "definitely progressing in the
right direction."
Center Luke Kornet also was inactive after spraining his left ankle Thursday in
Orlando.
The Cavaliers were without three starters in point guard Darius Garland (left
great toe soreness), center Jarrett Allen (right third finger strain) and small
forward Sam Merrill (right hand sprain).
