Evan Mobley almost single-handedly maintained the best record in the NBA for the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday.
The fourth-year forward scored a career-high 41 points—shooting 6-for-8 on 3-pointers—with 10 rebounds and three blocks in the Cavs' 116–102 road win over the Charlotte Hornets.
Mobley's previous career-best points total was 38, set in January 2023 versus the Milwaukee Bucks. (interestingly, he didn't hit any 3-pointers in that game, shooting 0-for-2.) And the most 3s he'd previously made in a game was three. He surpassed that in the first quarter versus Charlotte, connecting on five shots from long range.
