NBA Roundup: James Harden Makes Triumphant Debut as Cavs Down Kings
- On Saturday night in Sacramento, James Harden made his Cavaliers debut as Cleveland rallied to a 132-126 win over the Sacramento Kings.
- Following the pre-deadline trade, Cleveland acquired James Harden from the Los Angeles Clippers for Darius Garland and a 2026 second-round pick, and Harden couldn't practice before his debut.
- Donovan Mitchell paced Cleveland with 35 points, including 17 in the fourth, while Jarrett Allen added 29 points and 10 rebounds as the Cavaliers went 29 of 32 at the free-throw line.
- That win was Cleveland's third straight and eighth in nine games, extending Sacramento's skid to 12 straight losses, and Cleveland will wrap up the road trip Monday night against Denver.
- The Harden–Mitchell perimeter pairing showed a glimpse of what the duo can become late in the game, amid trade timing concerns and Garland's injury issues affecting Cleveland's roster strategy.
