Massive massive shots by both Jays. Very difficult shots but they hit them each time the Cavs were making serious noise

Tatum has 27/12/5/1/1. Hope he's not done yet. This lead is far from safe.

JT cooking, but he could gone right into his moves on last 2 hoops rather than waiting for D to get set

Cavs offense is complete ass. They didn't even break 70 in 3 quarters. .515 TS% as a team. Whaever we are doing, it's working.

The regular season spoiled him. He can't get away with that now.

Every single time Mitchell shoots it looks perfect. Goodess. Good 3 point shooter, but off the step backs like this is remaremarkable.kabke.

Tatum kind of carried us in the 3rd quarter, both ends.

Jrue should have been involved more, was our best player in the first half.

Al has struggled tonight, he shouldn't be playing so many minutes.

He's engaged in this one, he's not finished, you can see it how he moves off the ball. He's active, that's a great sign.
