DALLAS (AP) — Donovan Mitchell scored 34 points against the team that eliminated him from the playoffs last season, and the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Dallas Mavericks 105-90. It was Mitchell’s first time to see Luka Doncic and Dallas since his final game with Utah last April. The Jazz lost 98-96 at home in Game 6 of the first round in the Western Conference.

The Cavs took control with a 17-0 run in the first half.
