The Los Angeles Lakers hosted the Cleveland Cavaliers on New Year’s Eve, looking to end 2024 on a high note against the best team in the league.
This game marked the debuts of Dorian Finney-Smith and Shake Milton after being acquired in a trade with the Brooklyn Nets, but the Cavaliers still proved to be too much for the Lakers as the former came away with a 122-110 victory.
As has been the case a lot this season, the Cavaliers got off to a good start, leading 10-4 early with Evan Mobley and Donovan Mitchell having five points each.
