The Cleveland Cavaliers suffered their second consecutive loss after starting the season with a three-game winning streak. Their most recent loss was against the Indiana Pacers and they played without Kevin Love and rookie Isaac Okoro. Collin Sexton carried the team’s scoring with 28 points while shooting an impressive 63% from the field. Darius Garland looks like the point guard that they always wanted doing 21 points, five assists, and five triples. Andre Drummond had a double-double but the team needs to solve their forward rotation as Larry Nance can’t fill everything up while Cedi Osman remains inconsistent.

This team has a better performance from Clint Capela doing 12 points, 11 rebounds, and six assists but the best scorer for the team was DeAndre Hunter with 23 points. Trae Young continues to orchestrate the Hawks tempo wand he tallied 20 points, eight assists, and five rebounds. Their starting five now looks solid but other bench players need to fill up the hole left by Danilo Gallinari and Rajon Rondo. The team had a subpar performance from Bogdan Bogdanovic who only had seven points.
