Cavs comeback win makes it 15 in a row

Darius Garland scored 30 points as the Cleveland Cavaliers staged a double-digit comeback to bag their 15th straight victory with a 109-104 defeat of the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday.

Cleveland looked to be heading for a shock loss, after lowly Brooklyn raced into an 18-point lead in the third quarter against a Cavs lineup missing the rested Donovan Mitchell.

But, Garland produced an explosive late burst of scoring to haul Cleveland back into the contest and extend the Cavaliers' lead at the top of the Eastern Conference to 55-10.
