Back-to-back doubles by Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley led the Cavaliers to a 119-95 win over the Raptors.

TORONTO — Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley both had double-doubles as the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Toronto Raptors 119-95 on Saturday for their ninth straight win.

Allen had 18 points and 15 rebounds for Cleveland (35-16), while Mobley added 17 points and 11 boards.

Donovan Mitchell scored 15 for the Cavaliers, who are trying to catch the Boston Celtics for first in the NBA Eastern Conference.

Scotty Barnes' triple-double was wasted as Toronto (19-34) ended its modest two-game winning streak. Barnes finished with 24 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists.

Guard Ochai Agbaji and Canadian center Kelly Olynyk made their debuts with the Raptors two days after being traded by the Utah Jazz to Toronto.

Both came off the bench as Olynyk finished with 11 points and six rebounds while Agbaji scored eight.

Olympic scored with 5:39 left in the first quarter to cheers from a crowd of 19,800 at Scotiabank Arena. Olynyk's parents worked for the Raptors before moving to Kamloops, BC

Agbaji also made his Toronto debut in the first quarter.

Cleveland outscored the Raptors 17-8 in the first five minutes behind Allen's six points. The Cavaliers ended the quarter with a 30-24 lead.

Agbaji made it 17 seconds left in the half, but he cut Cleveland's lead to 67-47 after a layup from Mobley. He had eight points in the quarter, even as Barnes led all scorers in the period with 11 points.

Allen had a double-double at halftime with 12 points and 10 rebounds.

Cleveland didn't let up in the third, with Allen scoring six goals to help the visitors maintain a healthy lead. Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic relied heavily on his reserves at quarterback with Bruce Brown, Olympian and rookie Grady Dick as Toronto saw significant playing time as they looked for some kind of spark.

The Raptors never found their footing, with the Cavs taking a 95-73 lead into the final quarter.

With Cleveland still leading by 21 points with 2:30 left in the game, both teams brought players out from deep at their positions.
