CLEVELAND (AP) — Cedi Osman tied his career high with 29 points, Darius Garland had 16 points and 10 assists, and the Cleveland Cavaliers built a 40-point lead on their way to a 122-99 rout of the Los Angeles Clippers. All-Star starter Donovan Mitchell had 11 points in his return for Cleveland after missing three games with a strained groin. Osman made all seven of his 3-point shots. The Cavaliers took their largest lead of the season at 82-42 on Jarrett Allen’s first 3-pointer since Nov. 5, 2021. The Clippers opted not to dress forward Kawhi Leonard and guards Paul George and Reggie Jackson, all of whom played Saturday in a victory in Atlanta.
