The Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the San Antonio Spurs 130–117 on December 5 at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, a performance that exceeded the Vegas total of 239.5 points combined. Donovan Mitchell led Cleveland with 28 points while Jarrett Tyson added 24, anchoring a balanced offensive attack that shot 58.1 percent from the field and made 8 three-pointers. The Cavaliers dominated the third quarter, outscoring San Antonio 44–19 to seize control after a tight first half, and finished with a 125.3 offensive rating against a 108.9 defensive rating. Devin Vassell and De'Aaron Fox kept the Spurs competitive with 28 and 25 points respectively, but San Antonio's 45.2 field-goal percentage and 15 three-pointers couldn't overcome Cleveland's rebounding advantage of 48–38 and superior ball movement, which generated 32 assists. The Cavaliers' 10 steals underscored their defensive intensity, while both teams committed 14 turnovers. Cleveland's third-quarter explosion proved decisive, establishing early control that San Antonio never recovered from despite a late fourth-quarter push. The win reinforces Cleveland's status as a top Eastern Conference contender.
