Evan Mobley added 25 points and 17 rebounds for Cleveland, which takes the season series from Boston 3-1.

Mitchell scored 40+ points in 3 of the 4 games against Boston this season.

Lamar Stevens was a big spark off the bench with 8 points and 8 rebounds (6 offensive), as the Cavs erased a 14-point 4th-quarter deficit.

Jaylen Brown led Boston with 32, followed by Malcolm Brogdon with 24.

Boston was missing starters Jayson Tatum, Al Horford and Robert Williams, but still had a chance to win when Grant Williams missed a pair of free throws with the game tied and 0.8 seconds left in regulation.
