CLEVELAND (AP) — Luka Doncic scored 35 points, added 13 assists and just missed another triple-double, leading the Dallas Mavericks to a 120-112 win over Cleveland.
The Cavaliers were without star forward Evan Mobley, who will miss at least two more games with a sprained ankle.
Dorian Finney-Smith made six 3-pointers and added a career-high 28 points for Dallas.
Doncic scored 20 in the third, when the Mavericks took control by outscoring the Cavaliers 39-22.
Caris LeVert had his best game with Cleveland, scoring 32.
Darius Garland added 25 and 10 assists for the Cavs, who have dropped four of five.
Mobley will miss at least the team’s next two games with a sprained left ankle, an injury that could keep Cleveland from clinching one of the top six playoff spots.
Mobley got hurt in the first half of Monday’s win over Orlando.
He underwent an MRI on Tuesday and the team provided a medical update before Wednesday’s game against Dallas.
The Cavs said Mobley will not travel to Atlanta and New York.
Cleveland will be back home Sunday to host Philadelphia.
