Where LeBron and Kyrie bring home titles
The Cleveland Cavaliers have won three straight games. All grades are based on our usual expectations for each player.

Jarrett Allen 13 points, 9 rebounds, 1 assist, […]
Evan Mobley scored 24 points, Sam Merrill added 21, and the Cleveland Cavaliers pulled away from the Memphis Grizzlies 142-126 for their 50th win of the season.

CLEVELAND — It wasn’t pretty, but the Cleveland Cavaliers did enough to escape with a 117-108 win over the Indiana Pacers.

Although neither he, James Harden, nor Donovan Mitchell would reveal what that was. “I’m not saying […]
Donovan Mitchell led all scorers with 38 points and James Harden poured in 28 as the Cleveland Cavaliers let their star-studded backcourt carry the team past the Indiana Pacers 117-108.

Mitchell ended the game with […]
A shorthanded Cleveland Cavaliers beat an even more depleted Indiana Pacers team. Let’s go over today’s winners and losers.

CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Cavaliers haven’t had many opportunities to see how this team looks when it’s at — or even near — full strength.

The Cleveland Cavaliers will be starting the first round of the playoffs in two weeks. There isn’t much left to prove in the regular season.
