The Raptors dropped to 29-29 and have lost four of their past seven games.

Cleveland's Kyrie Irving scored 21 points, but he did not play in the fourth quarter because of left knee tightness. Cavaliers guard Iman Shumpert left in the third quarter due to a left arm injury.
Utah was led by Rudy Gobert, who had 20 points and 19 rebounds.
