The Cavaliers reportedly want to face the Nets in the playoffs. Nothing that happened between the teams Tuesday night likely convinced them otherwise.
The Nets couldn’t handle New York-bred star Donovan Mitchell and couldn’t stop the Cavaliers, losing 115-109 before a sellout crowd of 17,732 at Barclays Center.

Reserve center Day’Ron Sharpe led the Nets with 20 points and 11 rebounds off the bench, while Spencer Dinwiddie added 19 points and 11 assists. But the Nets were just 9-for-31 from behind the arc.
The lead was still 32-27 with 10:50 left in the first half after Mikal Bridges hit a midrange fadeaway off a feed from Seth Curry. But a 16-4 Cleveland blitz changed all that.The Nets shot just 2-for-8 over that span, including just 1-for-4 in the paint, and the Cavaliers flipped the momentum. By the time former Net Jarrett Allen banked in a hook shot, Cleveland was up 43-36.
After having already given up one huge run to open the second quarter, the Nets conceded another run at the start of the third and abandoned all hope of victory. Mitchell’s 3-pointer was the final dagger of the Cavaliers’ 23-5 blitz.
