Donovan Mitchell had five 3-pointers and one sensational slam dunk among his 31 points, and the Cavaliers opened a big lead in the third quarter and held on for a 115-109 victory over the Nets on Tuesday night. NetsWorld
Day'Ron Sharpe had 20 points and 11 rebounds off the bench for the Nets, who lost their fourth straight game. Spencer Dinwiddie had 19 points and 11 assists, and Mikal Bridges scored 18 points.
The Nets came in just two games behind the New York Knicks for fifth, but now are only a half-game ahead of Miami for seventh, which would mean having to get through the play-in round. The Nets got themselves back into it with a 14-3 push late in third to cut it to 91-78, but the Cavs pushed the ball up the court in the closing seconds and LeVert beat the buzzer with a 3-pointer to make it 94-78.
