The Utah Jazz (32 - 35) defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers (47 - 19) 94 - 85 at Vivint Smart Home Arena on Monday. Channing Frye and Trey Lyles were both ejected with four minutes remaining in the fourth quarter after Lyles appeared to elbow Frye below the belt. The frustration was beginning to overcome Cleveland, although the timing could not have been worse seeing as they just ripped off seven straight points to bring the Jazz lead within striking distance. Kyrie Irving shot his team out of many opportunities, but the poor shot selection was not entirely on the point guard, as the Cavs shot just under 40 percent as a unit. Irving finished with 15 points on 7 - of - 23 shooting, to go along with four rebounds and three assists. LeBron James rounded out the box score, and did provide a dunk of the year candidate after finishing a lob pass from J.R. Smith. James finished with 23 points, 12 rebounds and three assists on 10 - of - 20 shooting. The Jazz were unable to stop the Cavs from getting decent looks at the basket, but just the right amount of defense was in play to give them the edge late in the game. The Utah backcourt was out to impress against the Eastern Conference’s best team, as Rodney Hood and Shelvin Mack both provided some of their best games of the season. Mack almost completed a triple - double after scoring 17 points, to go along with seven rebounds and 10 assists on 7 - of - 14 shooting. Rodney Hood matched Mack’s efficient game with a game high 28 points including four buckets from behind the arc. Before his ejection, Trey Lyles added double figures off the bench. The win came without the Jazz’s best player in Gordon Hayward (foot), who is likely to miss out on a few more games with the nagging injury. The Cavs will host the Dallas Mavericks (34 - 33) on Wednesday, while the Jazz welcome the Phoenix Suns (17 - 49) on Thursday.
