CHICAGO (AP) \u2014 James Harden scored 36, Evan Mobley added 26 points and 14 rebounds and Cleveland hung on to beat the Chicago Bulls 115-110 on Thursday night even though Cavaliers star Donovan Mitchell missed the game because of a bruised left eye.<\/p>\n
Harden nailed seven 3-pointers. Jaylon Tyson chipped in with 18 points and 11 rebounds, and the Cavaliers hung on after a 29-point lead in the third quarter dwindled to one in the game\u2019s closing minutes.<\/p>\n
Chicago\u2019s Tre Jones cut it to 103-102 when he made two free throws with 3:33 remaining. Sam Merrill answered with a 3 for Cleveland.<\/p>\n
The Cavaliers were up 110-107 when Jones missed a potential tying 3 and Leonard Miller missed a layup with about a minute left. Harden hit a pull-up jumper to make it a five-point game with 33 seconds left and Cleveland hung on for the win.<\/p>\n
Mitchell was hurt in a collision in practice with Mobley. The seven-time All-Star played through the injury in Cleveland\u2019s victory at Milwaukee on Tuesday night and finished with 19 points on 4-for-14 shooting. He said after the game that he was having trouble seeing.<\/p>\n
Coach Kenny Atkinson said the injury is \u201cnothing serious,\u201d but the Cavaliers need to \u201clet it clear up.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jones scored 20 for Chicago, which lost for the fourth time in five games. Rob Dillingham added a season-high 17 points. Nick Richards finished with 16 points and eight rebounds.<\/p>\n
