Bikstaff on Garland's absence: missing his creativity and the pressure he put on the defence

Live Bar Feb. 1 In an NBA regular season game that ended today, the Cavaliers narrowly beat the Pelicans 93-90. Cavaliers coach Bixtaugh was interviewed after the game.

Cavaliers guard Garland was absent due to a back injury, and Cavaliers coach Bixtaff said of the impact on the team: "We miss the possibilities he can create for the game, the pressure he puts on the defense. Garland has always been the one who handles the ball and we've seen time and time and time again that when the ball is in his hands, he always makes a difference in the key moments. He'll launch the initial offense, and then the other players will attack around him. ”

According to statistics, Cleveland's offensive efficiency in the case of Garand on the court this season is 114.0, which is the second best result in the league. Without him, that number plummeted to 106.5 — 27th. Garland has played 44 games for the Cavaliers this season, averaging 19.8 points, 3.3 rebounds and 8.2 assists.
