Fourth quarter surge pushes Cavaliers to 11th straight win

The Cleveland Cavaliers found themselves in an unfamiliar situation on Saturday evening heading into the fourth quarter against the Brooklyn Nets.

After being held to just 13 points in the third quarter, Cleveland trailed 82-70 heading into the final period.

But as they have done all season, the Cavaliers found a way to win, outscoring the Nets 35-18 in the final twelve minutes of the game and then pulling off a resilient 105-100 win. This is the eleventh straight win for the Wine and Gold to start the season, as they remain the only undefeated team in the NBA.

Cleveland shot a remarkable 14-for-18 (77.8%) from the field in the fourth quarter, with all field goals made coming from inside the three-point line. The Cavaliers also went a perfect 7-for-7 from the free throw line in that period.

Evan Mobley played a key role in Wine and Gold’s fourth-quarter comeback. He shot a perfect 3-for-3 in that period, good for six points, three rebounds, three steals and a block. The 23-year-old had a monster night overall, scoring 23 points on 10-of-11 (90.9%) shooting from the field, grabbing a season-high 16 rebounds and tying his season-high with four steals.

One night after scoring 20 points on the season, Ty Jerome once again proved to be a spark plug for the Wine and Gold. He played all but 15 seconds of the fourth quarter and recorded four points, five assists, a steal and a rebound.

Darius Garland And Caris LeVert each led the way with eight points in the final quarter, shooting a combined 7-for-9 (77.8%) from the field.

Cleveland will look to get off to a 12-0 start to the season when the team faces the Chicago Bulls on the road on Monday, November 11 at 8 p.m
