The Cavs got exactly what they wanted. In a pre-Christmas matchup with the woeful and undermanned Utah Jazz, who entered the game as 14-point underdogs, Cleveland avoided a collapse and held on for a 124-113 victory Monday night at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse.

Darius Garland scored 26 points and Evan Mobley had 22 points, 13 rebounds and seven assists, sending the NBA-leading Cleveland Cavaliers to a 126-99 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday night.
