Donovan Mitchell scored 17 points and James Harden had 16 points and nine assists as the Cleveland Cavaliers dominated the visiting Brooklyn Nets 112-84 on Thursday night, extending their winning streak to six.
Jarrett Allen posted 15 points and 10 rebounds for Cleveland, which led from wire to wire for the second straight game and has won 11 of its last 12. Evan Mobley had 10 points and nine rebounds in his return from a seven-game absence with a left calf strain.
The Cavaliers have won five straight at home and are 4-0 with trade-deadline acquisition Harden in the lineup. Dennis Schroder made two free throws late in the third quarter to put Cleveland up 102-59, its largest lead of the season.

The Nets have split their last four contests, but have lost 20 of 25 games since Dec. 29.
