Mobley helps Cavs win franchise-record 16th straight, beat Grizzlies 133-124

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Evan Mobley had 22 points and 11 rebounds, Darius Garland added 20 points and nine assists and the Cleveland Cavaliers recorded a franchise-record 16th straight victory with a 133-124 win over the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday night.

With two minutes left in the second half, Cleveland’s Jalen Green was fouled, allowing the Grizzlies to pull in front. They went on to win by two.

The Grizzlies led by 13 points with 4:18 left in the first half and by eight with 4:12 to go. They finished with a 200-176 lead.

Cleveland coach Steve Kerr said he was happy with the effort, but he felt it was a huge last-minute reversal.

“After the last couple of minutes, that was a huge reversal of it,” Kerr said.

Cleveland is 13-20 and 31-36 at home over the past two seasons.

Madison, Wis., resident Michael Ruffins, 24, said he was shocked to see it happen. He was on the team when the Grizzlies won that last-game series against the Mavericks, but he said he never thought it would happen again.

“2017-18 I played against the Grizzlies and I didn’t know what to expect,” Ruffins said. “I was just in that moment where I thought they were really going to win the game. They were going to win the game by the end of the night. So, I never thought it would happen again.”

The Grizzlies have lost two straight home games, both in overtime, and have been on the losing end of each of them. They were tied with the Grizzlies 106-106 in the second half of the third quarter before coming back to win 106-102.

Cleveland center Jarrett Allen, 22, finished with nine points and six rebounds in the second half. Memphis guard Scottie Pipkin, 22, had 16 points and four assists in the second half.

Cleveland guard Jesse Mulligan, 21, had 14 points and three assists in the second half. Memphis center Mason Hall, 25, finished with a double-double of 12 points and 10 rebounds and was the only Grizzlies player to score 20 points.
