God I'd love to see us win this one. This young team maturing before our eyes. Hand KD his ass to him.

EDIT. Durant out with sprain, dammit.

I like the quote- it makes me chuckle. And it was/is pretty much true.

We still closed out a close game and Harden was even getting his calls. We can worry about beating all 3 of them for when/if all 3 are 100%. Presumably unbeatable if that happens, but it so rarely happens...

Garland and Allen makes a well-oiled a double-double machine. The team is in it to win it and made some smart choices in the 4th quarter. I especially like the way the bench reacts and interacts. Was that a KLove timeout to instruct Markkanen how to defend Harden?

Yep, for all the people worried about our playoff experience, this was another game we figured out a way to close out a team with a lot more experience and some of that happened on-the-fly.

The Cavs can go a lot further than most of casual NBA fans can think of.
