SAN FRANCISCO – Darius Garland scored 25 points, Donovan Mitchell added 23 and the Cleveland Cavaliers extended their winning streak to seven games with a 113-95 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Monday night.

Dean Wade had 10 points and 13 rebounds for Cleveland and Jarrett Allen had 12 points and nine rebounds.

Takeaways

Cleveland: The Cavaliers are halfway through a brutal four-game West Coast road trip, and so far all is well for the team with the best record. Cleveland, which earned a 149-135 win over Denver on Friday, now looks ahead to road games against the Lakers on Tuesday and Dallas on Friday.

Golden State: After starting the season at 12-3, Golden State is in free fall, having lost four of its last five games and 13 of 17.

Key moment

Garland intercepted an errant pass from Wiggins and scored a layup to extend Cleveland’s lead to 44-36 with just under two minutes left in the first half. That sequence set the tone for the decisive 20-5 run that put the game out of reach late in the third quarter.

Key statistics

The Warriors shot 33.3% from the field and were 9 for 38 (23.7%) from distance. Cleveland shot 45.8% from the field and 18 for 47 (38.3%) from the 3-point line.
