DALLAS — Evan Mobley had 34 points and 10 rebounds as the Cleveland Cavaliers ran their winning streak to nine games by beating the short-handed Dallas Mavericks 134-122. The NBA-leading Cavs swept a four-game Western Conference road trip. All nine wins in the streak have been by double digits. The Mavericks played without both of their All-Star guards, Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving. Irving missed the game because of illness while Doncic has been sidelined since suffering a calf strain during the Mavericks' Christmas Day loss to Minnesota. Quentin Grimes scored 26 points to lead the Mavericks, who have lost four straight.
