The up-and-coming young Cavaliers get another chance to show their mettle, a test at the Mecca on Sunday evening.
Cleveland comes into the Garden looking to run its win streak to four after coming off a Friday night thriller north of the border – trailing for all but 4.8 seconds and still finding a way to grind out the 102-101 win over the Raptors. The victory snapped Toronto’s five-game run and halted a six-game losing skid in Toronto.
Friday night’s hero, Darius Garland, capped an incredible fourth-quarter performance with a pair of free throws to ice the win – scoring 12 points in the final period, going 4-of-5 from the floor in the quarter and 8-of-12 overall for 21 points, adding a game-high eight assists and a steal.
