Support for Spencer came from various angles. Gui Santos added 14 points, going 3-of-8 from the field. Buddy Hield contributed significantly with 13 points, seven rebounds, and three assists. Quentin Post scored 12 points and grabbed nine rebounds, while Brandin Podziemski wrapped up his night with 10 points, and Moses Moody was just shy of double figures with nine points.

For the Cavaliers, Donovan Mitchell led the team with an impressive 29-point outing, hitting 11 field goals and successfully sinking seven three-pointers. Evan Mobley anchored the front court with 18 points and 10 rebounds, earning a double-double along with a steal and a block. Darius Garland added 17 points, five rebounds, and four assists. Despite Isaac Okoro and Jalen Tyson both contributing 11 points, Cleveland’s shooting decline and late-game execution proved insufficient.
