Cavaliers Dominate Hornets in 115-92 Victory

The Cleveland Cavaliers bounced back from a tough loss to the Miami Heat by defeating the Charlotte Hornets behind strong performances from Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen. Mobley scored 17 points, with eight assists and seven rebounds, while Allen added 17 points and 13 rebounds. This win ended a three-game losing streak for the Cavaliers, who had been struggling in the Eastern Conference standings.

The Brooklyn Nets snapped a six-game losing streak by beating the Toronto Raptors, with Dennis Schroder scoring 19 points and Trendon Watford putting up a season-high 19 points. The Raptors, on the other hand, have lost 11 straight games and are winless since early March. The Nets’ victory was much needed as they had not won since March 10 against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

In a dominating performance, the New York Knicks defeated the Detroit Pistons behind Donte DiVincenzo’s franchise-record 11 3-pointers and career-high 40 points. DiVincenzo’s stellar shooting helped the Knicks secure their sixth win in seven games, keeping them in contention for a top spot in the Eastern Conference. The Pistons, who are the NBA’s worst team, suffered their seventh straight loss.

Despite trailing by 30 points at one point in the game, the Atlanta Hawks staged a remarkable comeback against the Boston Celtics, winning 120-118. De’Andre Hunter hit a clutch 3-pointer in the final seconds to seal the victory for the injury-plagued Hawks. This win marked the biggest comeback in the Hawks’ history since at least the 1997-98 season, with several bench players stepping up in the absence of key starters.

Luka Doncic led the Dallas Mavericks to a 115-105 victory over the Utah Jazz, recording a triple-double with 29 points, 13 assists, and 12 rebounds. The Mavericks secured their fourth consecutive win, with Kyrie Irving contributing 27 points. Meanwhile, Nikola Jokic guided the Denver Nuggets to a 128-103 win over the Memphis Grizzlies, falling just two assists shy of a triple-double. Jokic’s strong performance helped the Nuggets maintain their position in the Western Conference standings.
