CLEVELAND — It's 9 p.m. on a recent Tuesday evening at Quicken Loans Arena, and Section 200 is hopping.
Jordan Clarkson has just drilled a short runner, capping a one-man 7-0 run for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Their lead over Charlotte has ballooned to 19 points, setting off momentary celebrations throughout the Q's upper deck.
Brandon Michael Bass can't stop smiling.
"Excellent, man," he says from his perch in Row 15, high atop the arena.
Clarkson has been hot, rookie Collin Sexton has been steady and a victory is nearly in hand.
