CLEVELAND — De'Andre Hunter scored 32 points and made a go-ahead 3-pointer with 30 seconds left in overtime as the Cleveland Cavaliers rallied for a 133-129 win over the Portland Trail Blazers to extend their winning streak to 10 and become the first team with 50 victories. The Cavs were down 18 in the third quarter before fighting back to win for the 14th time in 15 games. They did it without All-Star guard Donovan Mitchell, who got some planned rest. Ty Jerome added 25 points and Evan Mobley 20 for Cleveland. Portland's Deni Avdija had 30 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists for his first career triple-double.
