#Cavs beat the Pacers last night as Darius Garland returned (again) from a toe injury. It's clear that he's become the engine that makes this group go. He's the power strip the team needs in order to operate at its highest voltage. open.substack.com/pub/theinsid...

#Cavs beat the Pacers 120-109 in Darius Garland's return to the lineup. He finished with 20 points and 7 assists. Donovan Mitchell had 32 points, 9 rebounds and 5 dimes. Evan Mobley had 22 points and 12 rebounds and De'Andre Hunter had 20.

A step in the right direction.

#Cavs lead the Pacers 100-81 after three quarters. Donovan Mitchell has 26 points on 9-of-16 shooting, Evan Mobley has 17 on just 7 shots and Darius Garland has 18 points in his return.
November 22, 2025 at 2:10 AM
#Cavs lead the Pacers 62-55 at halftime. Darius Garland has looked pretty good in his first game back after missing the past five. He's got a game-high 18 points. Evan Mobley had a good first quarter but was pretty quiet in the second. He and Donovan Mitchell both have 12.
November 22, 2025 at 1:17 AM
Pretty nice half for Darius Garland in his return. He's up to a game-high 13 points after that 3-pointer from the left wing. Looks a little bit rusty, but overall I think he's given the Cavs a boost.

As a group, they're having another rough shooting night, though.
November 22, 2025 at 1:06 AM
#Cavs lead the Pacers 33-31 after the first quarter. Cavs have made it a point to get Evan Mobley the ball either moving towards the rim or while he's already at it. He's got 12 points on 4/6 shooting and 4/6 at the line. Mitchell, Garland and Hunter all have 5.

Ball is up. #Cavs and Pacers are underway.
November 22, 2025 at 12:13 AM
#Cavs are starting both Darius Garland and Jaylon Tyson tonight in their returns from injury.

Shorthanded #Cavs fall to the Rockets 114-104. Couldn't overcome their worst offensive half of the season to start this one and an abysmal night from both beyond the arc and the free throw line. They're back in action on Friday night, potentially with some reinforcements.
November 20, 2025 at 2:42 AM
#Cavs trail the Rockets 74-70 after three quarters, but they played much better on both ends of the floor in that third quarter. They've trailed by as many as 22 points tonight, but definitely have to feel good about where they are headed to the fourth.
November 20, 2025 at 2:07 AM
#Cavs trail the Rockets 57-40 at halftime. They're 4-of-20 from deep and that really tells the story here. They can't keep up with anyone if they shooting as bad as they did in that half. Nothing else matters, honestly.
November 20, 2025 at 1:18 AM
#Cavs are starting Donovan Mitchell, Nae’Qwan Tomlin, De’Andre Hunter, Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen tonight against the Rockets.
November 19, 2025 at 11:27 PM
Sam Merrill is out tonight for the #Cavs.
November 19, 2025 at 11:07 PM
Kenny Atkinson says that Darius Garland is “close, really close.” to return from his toe contusion.

He also said that Jaylon Tyson could be back on Friday against Indiana after missing the past week with a concussion.

#Cavs beat the Bucks 118-106 to move to 10-5 on the season. Donovan Mitchell had 37 points, 7 assists and 5 rebounds, Sam Merrill hit six 3s on his way to 20 points. They look like a team that's slowly but surely figuring things out.
November 18, 2025 at 2:29 AM
Great possession for the #Cavs ends in a Sam Merrill three from the left wing to give them a 100-91 lead with 8:29 left in regulation.
