'Heck of a comeback' from Cavs to stay unbeaten

A superb defensive performance from Evan Mobley and 22 points from Donovan Mitchell laid the foundations for an unlikely victory that saw Cleveland improve to 11-0.

Cavs coach Kenny Atkinson admitted his team had been below par for long periods, but praised their resilience in grinding out a win.

"We weren't great, but it's a sign of a really good team that they can pull something like that out when you're not playing your best," he said. "That was a heck of a comeback."

Mobley led the Cleveland scoring with 23 points, but it was his work at the other end of the court which proved decisive at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse.
