The NBA regular season is a focus game, with the Cleveland Cavaliers hosting the Memphis Grizzlies. At the end of the half, the Cavaliers temporarily trailed 55-57. This half, they were so divided that 4 scored in double figures and scored 50 points together, but others contributed too little, with only 5 points in the book.
In the first quarter, the dominant side was the Cavaliers, whose three-high lineup caused a lot of trouble for the opponent, and the Grizzlies only Jaren Jackson Jr. played ok, and no one else could. In the end, the Cavaliers won the first set 30-27. In the second inning, the Grizzlies adapted and began to find their rhythm, and this quarter came into the dressing room with a 2-point lead.
The two teams are also considered to be a big battle, and the score cut at half-time is not bad. The Cavaliers are a bit of a blossom inside and out, two of the three highs broke out, Evan Mobley shot 5 of 8, with 10 points and 3 rebounds, Jarrett Allen was more ferocious, 7 of 9 cut 14 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, but Markkanen dropped the chain a bit, only 3 shots and 1 of 13 minutes, only 2 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, if the troika can go hand in hand, it is scary.
Markkanen's deficiencies were compensated by substitute veteran Kevin Love, who played 16 minutes and, despite his modest shooting percentage, was only 4-of-12 from the field, but also scored 12 points. Garland also contributed a lot from the outside, shooting 5-of-12 from the field and having 14 points and six assists.
The four double-doubles players alone scored as many as 50 points, while the others contributed only 5 points. This is certainly not OK, want to win can not rely on only a few people, but the efforts of the whole team, the opposite Grizzlies is not a weak brigade, but a strong team in the fourth place in the West, if the Cavaliers do not have more people to stand up, the second half is not optimistic.
