Los Angeles Clippers vs Cleveland Cavaliers Final Score & Over/Under Result — Nov 23, 2025

Donovan Mitchell's 37-point eruption lifted Cleveland past a Los Angeles team that came in allowing 119.3 points per game over its last 10—yet the Cavaliers' 120-105 victory produced a combined 225 points, landing just shy of expectation in a matchup between a hot Cleveland offense (123.9 ppg recently) and a struggling Clippers defense.

The game's rhythm tilted early. Cleveland's 27 points in the first quarter set a steadier tone than Los Angeles's 24, and the second quarter became the evening's pivot: a combined 60 points flooded the scoreboard as both teams pushed pace, with the Clippers' 28 matching Cleveland's 32. That stretch kept the game competitive through halftime at 111 combined. Ivica Zubac kept Los Angeles afloat with 33 points and 18 rebounds—a dominant interior showing—while Kawhi Leonard chipped in 20 and James Harden distributed 6 assists across 19 points. But Mitchell's workload and efficiency separated the teams. Evan Mobley added 18 and 10 boards, and De'Andre Hunter contributed 17, as Cleveland sustained its offensive identity even as the combined pace slowed in the second half (114 combined points across quarters three and four).

The Clippers' fourth-quarter total of 26 points underscored their offensive decline when it mattered most. DAGGER leaned under, and it cashed.
