Donovan Mitchell scored 27 points, Evan Mobley added 21 and the Cleveland Cavaliers bullied the New York Knicks from the start Friday night, winning 142-105 in a matchup of two of the Eastern Conference's top teams.

Donovan Mitchell agrees. Mobley had 18 points, 13 rebounds and 3 blocks, helping Cleveland to its 45th win Thursday in Brooklyn. “He’s everything to us,” Mitchell said of the 4th-year forward. Tonight the Cavs are back home to face the Knicks, who are 3rd in the East (37-18).

In front of a national television audience, the Cavs thoroughly dismantled one of their top competitors in the East. Mitchell and Mobley combined for 48 points.
