Let’s go over today’s winners and losers. WINNER – Evan Mobley It’s not every night that Evan Mobley looks like a bully. But tonight, the Utah Jazz had no one who could defend Mobley in the paint.

Mobley commanded multiple bodies to stop him from burrowing his way under the basket for a bucket. That gravity made it easier for the Cavs offense to operate — as Mobley was routinely sucking in the defense and getting the Jazz to scramble. All of that was made possible by Mobley’s 16 points in the first half.

Each basket came in the paint, with Mobley going 8-11 from the field in the opening half. He was a dominant force, attacking in transition and sealing mismatches deep in the restricted area. Mobley finished with 34 points, 17 rebounds and 3 blocks.
