Mitchell Scores 28 Points, Cavaliers Beat Spurs

Cleveland Cavaliers overcame a 10-point halftime deficit with a 44-point third quarter including a 23-4 run, led by Donovan Mitchell’s 28 points and Jaylon Tyson’s 24 points.

  • On Dec. 5, 2025, the Cleveland Cavaliers rallied to beat the San Antonio Spurs 130-117 at Rocket Arena, snapping a two-game home skid.
  • Facing lineup gaps and a halftime deficit, Cleveland trailed by 10 in the first half, used a 23-4 run and outscored San Antonio 44-19 in the third quarter powered by Jaylon Tyson.
  • Donovan Mitchell paced the Cavaliers with 28 points and eight assists, while Jaylon Tyson scored 24 points including 16 in the third quarter and Evan Mobley posted a 17-point, 10-rebound double-double.
  • San Antonio's compressed travel schedule means they face a nine-city, 18-day stretch with only one home game between Nov. 21 and Dec. 16, complicating recovery and rest.
  • This season's injury history suggests Cleveland Cavaliers must overcome cohesion struggles as back-to-back home dates on Dec. 5 and Dec. 6 offer a chance to build momentum.
