Garland did a good job on Maxey as did everybody who guarded him, holding him to 7-for-26 with three turnovers.
That damn Kyle Lowry almost won the game for them with 23 points and 6 assists. The guy is 38 and he was killing it in the 4th quarter.
Paul Reed had five offensive rebounds and I swear every one was followed by a 3-pointer or at least a 2. Buddy Hield, a backup guard, had four offensive boards. The Cavs really need to get better in this area.
Allen wasn't as big a factor as I expected as he only played 26 minutes. JBB obviously didn't like something about his game. He still had 13 points and 11 boards, but he was giving up a lot of offensive rebounds and also getting the ball poked away.
The Cavs did a great job of not letting Hield get going; he only took two 3-pointers as the Cavs stayed close. I thought Merrill played good defense this game in addition to the four 3's.
