Cavaliers stun Nets

LOS ANGELES (AFP) – Darius Garland scored 22 points and delivered 12 assists as the Cleveland Cavaliers stretched their winning streak to five games with a 114-107 win over the Brooklyn Nets on Monday.

The Cavaliers dominated on offense and defense down the stretch, holding the Nets to just two points during the final 3:43 of the fourth quarter.

Issac Okoro scored 15 points and Lauri Markkanen, Kevin Love and Jarrett Allen each added 14 points for the Cavs, who avenged two losses to the Nets back in November.

The Cavaliers win comes on a day the NBA honored the memory of Martin Luther King Jr. with special ceremonies and video tributes throughout the 14 games on Monday.
