Wed Mar 26 04:00:00 UTC 2025: ## Cavaliers Snap Losing Streak with Dominant Win Over Jazz

**SALT LAKE CITY (AP)** — The Cleveland Cavaliers ended their four-game losing skid with a convincing 120-91 victory over the Utah Jazz on Sunday. Jarrett Allen led the Cavaliers with 18 points, while Donovan Mitchell added 16. Evan Mobley contributed a strong all-around performance with 11 points, 11 rebounds, and 3 blocks. Six Cleveland players reached double figures in scoring.

The Jazz, led by Kyle Filipowski’s 18 points and 13 rebounds, briefly took the lead in the second quarter. However, the Cavaliers responded with a decisive 15-0 run to open the third quarter, fueled by strong inside play and exploiting Utah’s weak transition defense. Cleveland ultimately outscored Utah 60-30 in the paint and capitalized on 18 Jazz turnovers, converting them into 25 points.

The Cavaliers’ dominance was evident in their fastbreak points (22-9 advantage over Utah) and their ability to control the game after regaining the lead late in the second quarter. Mitchell and Darius Garland’s late-second-quarter scoring proved crucial in setting the stage for Cleveland’s decisive third-quarter run.

While Walker Kessler contributed 13 rebounds and 3 blocks for Utah, their struggles with turnovers and transition defense ultimately proved decisive. Both teams return to action on Tuesday, with the Cavaliers facing Portland and the Jazz hosting Memphis.
