SALT LAKE CITY — \u2014 Evan Mobley<\/a> and Donovan Mitchell<\/a> each scored 34 points and the Cleveland Cavaliers<\/a> used a late fourth-quarter surge to beat the Utah Jazz<\/a> 122-113 on Monday night.<\/p>\n

Mobley set a season-high for points, including eight dunks, and also had 16 rebounds and three blocks. The 7-footer capped the decisive 14-1 run with a three-point play that made it 117-106 with 3:14 remaining. <\/p>\n

James Harden<\/a> had 13 points and 14 assists for the Cavaliers, who have won five straight road games and six of their last seven overall.<\/p>\n

Cody Williams<\/a> scored 26 points, Kyle Filipowski<\/a> had 20 and Ace Bailey<\/a> added 19 for Utah. The Jazz have lost six straight and 10 of their last 11.<\/p>\n

Bailey made an acrobatic layup that gave the Jazz their first lead since the opening moments at 105-103 with 5:40 to play, but then sat for the rest of the game.<\/p>\n

Mobley had three dunks in the second quarter alone. The first one started a 13-0 run that made it 44-30 for Cleveland. The other two slams helped fuel a 12-5 run to end the half with a 63-53 advantage after the Jazz had cut it to 3 points. <\/p>\n

Jarrett Allen<\/a> and Max Strus<\/a> recently returned from injuries as the Cavaliers, but neither played against the free-falling Jazz.<\/p>\n

Because of injuries (and a drive to improve draft chances), the Jazz played only eight, including two on a 10-day contracts and a two-way player. Rotation regulars Kevin Love<\/a> and Svi Mykhailiuk<\/a> were healthy scratches.<\/p>\n

Jazz: Host Denver on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
