This looked like another epic choke job after Okoro missed an uncontested dunk followed by two turnovers on inbound passes after made baskets. But the Cavs kept their composure and Garland nailed a couple of huge 3's (as did Okoro) to fend off the Pelicans.
The Cavs won the 4th quarter 35-22 with no Donovan Mitchell. Allen and Mobley were outstanding as was Garland. Rubio was a +13 in his 17 minutes and Stevens was a +16 in 20.
I thought Mobley in particular played very well with 19 points on just 10 shots, 8 rebounds, and numerous shots altered. He also forces a lot of potential shooters to give up and pass the ball out after getting into the paint.
Allen had one of his best, if not THE best game of the year with 24 points on only 12 shots, 11 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, and a block while working against Valanciunas. But Garland stole the show with 30 points and 11 assists while playing the entire second half, if I'm not mistaken.
Very nice win against a quality team, but if they had Ingram and Zion they kick our butt.
Love was awful, going 1-for-7 in 16 minutes and no defense as usual. He did have 8 rebounds and 3 assists, but he also committed two turnovers. I thought he might be coming out of his shooting slump after going 2-for-4 from deep against the Wolves, but today he was back to 0-for-4. I think that puts him at 3 for his last 27.
Cedi got five minutes in the first half and never saw the court again. I think JBB is losing confidence in him. Cedi has 12 points in his last five games, averaging just 11 minutes per game.
