This week has been better, one could say as compared to the previous few weeks, for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Cleveland did lose to the Boston Celtics 110-88 on Monday, but the Cavs did have some very good stretches in that one, but clearly, Kemba Walker, Jayson Tatum and the ever-versatile C’s were just too much.
From there, Cleveland lost to the Houston Rockets 116-110 on Wednesday, but led by their bench and a career-high 24-point effort from Kevin Porter Jr., the Cavaliers were right in that one. James Harden‘s 55-point display, where he hit so many difficult shots throughout and including down the stretch, though, led to a tough loss which our own Tyler Marling hit on in his player grades.
