Cleveland Cavaliers
Eastern Conference leaders, the Cleveland Cavaliers, have been in imperious form lately, winning ten from eleven with the sole setback of a loss to the champions Boston Celtics. The Cavs welcome the Grizzlies on the back of a 6-game streak in which Cleveland has scored over 110 points each time. They have now won 36 games by double digits and scored over 140 points four times this season. Against the New York Knicks last night, the Cavs dominated for a 142 -105 blowout of the New Yorkers. Donovan Mitchell led the Cavaliers with 27 points, Evan Mobley contributed 21, and Cleveland 27 points clear by halftime. Already sporting an NBA-best record, the Cavs improved it to 46-10, boosting their team depth with the return of forward Dean Wade. Unfortunately, they lost center Jarrett Allen, who injured his hand and is reported to have undergone an MRI scan.
X-rays were negative, so that's good. I do think he's going to get an MRI tomorrow. He came up to me during the game. He goes, 'It's bothering me. I'm not going to be able to finish.' But good X-rays were negative.
Memphis Grizzlies
The Memphis Grizzlies (37-19, second in the West) snapped a 2-game skid with a 105-104 victory at the Orlando Magic. The Grizzlies survived after a last-second block by Jaren Jackson, who stopped a driving floater by Orlando’s Paolo Banchero to secure the win. Jackson finished with 16 points and three blocks. Memphis had recovered from a 19-point deficit to take the lead with 45 seconds remaining, with a free throw from Desmond Bane. The guard finished with 16 points and seven rebounds. GG Jackson II scored three 3-pointers during a 19-0 third-quarter run from the Grizzlies, which enabled them to catch up with the Magic.
No, no, no. I think we played well. I thought we were focused, but I wouldn't call it a statement win. They're obviously a really good team. We were at home, but I think we got good feedback on what could work if you play this team in the playoffs. That's probably the most important thing.
