Donovan Mitchell scored 23 points in 23 minutes in his first game against the Jazz since they traded Mitchell to Cleveland this summer and Jarrett Allen added 20 and 11 rebounds, leading the Cavaliers to a 122-99 win. The Cavs have won four straight, improving the NBA’s best home record to 15-2. The league’s best defensive team clamped down on the Jazz, holding them to a season-low 39.1 shooting percentage. For Mitchell, who spent five seasons with Utah before being dealt to Cleveland on Sept. 1 in a stunning blockbuster. Darius Garland added 17 and Cedi Osman 22 (20 in the fourth during extended garbage time) for Cleveland, which shot a season-high 61.4% and opened a 23-point lead in the third. The Cavaliers improved to 3-0 on a season-long, six-game homestand. They are back in action tomorrow night hosting Milwaukee.
