He&#x27;s phenomenal. He completely took over the game and carried us.&quot;</p><p>With Donovan Mitchell missing from the Cavaliers line-up, Garland&#x27;s scoring support came from Evan Mobley with 21 points while Jarrett Allen provided 18 points with 15 rebounds, two blocks and a steal to cap a fine all round display.</p><p>In other NBA games on Thursday, the injury-hit Dallas Mavericks produced a late fourth quarter escape to grab a 117-111 win over the Portland Trail Blazers in Dallas.</p><p>The Mavs, missing injured stars Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, looked headed for defeat after trailing by 10 points with just over four minutes remaining.</p><p>But an electrifying 16-0 run flipped the script and set up an unlikely Dallas win. P.J. Washington led the scoring with 23 points and Dereck Lively added 21 to close out victory.</p><p>In Orlando meanwhile, Julius Randle finished with 23 points and Anthony Edwards added 21 as the Minnesota Timberwolves cruised to a 104-89 victory over the Orlando Magic.</p><p>In Detroit, the Golden State Warriors held off the Pistons to dig out a 107-104 win on the road.</p><p>Buddy Hield led the Warriors scorers with 19 points while Stephen Curry finished with 17 after an uncharacteristically wayward shooting performance from long-range.</p><p>Curry made only five-of-21 shots from the field, including only two of 14 attempted three-pointers.</p><p>In Los Angeles, meanwhile, the Lakers&#x27; home game against the Charlotte Hornets was postponed due to the raging wildfires which have left swathes of the city in ruins.</p><p>&quot;We&#x27;re heartbroken for Los Angeles,&quot; the Lakers said in a statement on their website. &quot;Our thoughts are with all those impacted by this unimaginable situation.</p><p>&quot;And our gratitude is with the first responders and all of you who come together when we need each other the most. Tonight&#x27;s game will be rescheduled to focus on what matters most today.&quot;</p><p>Lakers head coach J.J. Redick was among the thousands affected by the blazes, with his Pacific Palisades home incinerated by the inferno.</p><div><em>© Agence France-Presse</em></div>
