Isaiah Mobley had 23 points, including the winning shot in overtime, and the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Brooklyn Nets 102-99 to advance to the NBA Summer League championship game. They will play Monday against the Houston Rockets, who beat the Utah Jazz 115-101 in the other semifinal game Sunday. With the Cavaliers needing to hit the target score of 101, Mobley maneuvered his way into the lane, where he faked a turnaround jumper and sank a soft one-handed shot to keep Cleveland unbeaten in Summer League play. Journeyman Nate Hinton had 27 points while first-round draft pick Cam Whitmore continued to shine with 25 points, four rebounds and four assists in Houston’s win over the Jazz.
