In today's Pistons game against the Cavaliers, the Cavaliers finally beat the Pistons by a four-point advantage of 113-109, although Grant slashed 40 points in this game, but in the guard showdown, the Cavaliers are obviously better, thanks to Garland's suppression of Cunningham in the whole game, the Cavaliers were finally able to win this game.
Garland played 41 minutes in this game, bombed 24 points and 12 assists, shot 8 of 18 shots, and walked the free throw line 8 times, which can be said to be an offensive organization shoulder to shoulder, almost single-handedly revitalizing the Cavaliers team. The opposite Champion Lang Cunningham had 15 points and 10 rebounds in this game, but at the same time sent out five turnovers, shooting only 5 of 13 shots, all aspects can be said to be firmly suppressed by Garland.
However, this game Garland is by no means a flash in the pan, in the previous ten games, Garland was able to average 26.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 10.5 assists per game, which is a super guard-like performance. When Sexton was injured, Garland exploded and averaged 21.3 points and 8.5 assists so far this season, shooting more than 45 percent from the field and more than 35 percent from three-point range. And was named an All-Star for the first time this season.
Garland's outstanding performance is also the reason why the Cavaliers can rank sixth in the East this season, so far in the season, the Cavaliers have achieved a record of 41 wins and 30 losses, according to statistics, this is also the first time in the history of the Cavaliers since the 97-98 season, the Cavaliers can achieve more than 50% of the winning rate without James. This season's Cavaliers can be said to have completely got rid of James's synonym and re-entered the eyes of fans as a team.
I have to say that the current Cavaliers team is indeed promising, although Sexton has been seriously injured, but at present Garland has shown the temperament of a future superstar, Mobley selected in the draft this season is more likely to win the best rookie, Allen is also a young potential inside, coupled with the team has enough squad depth, the Cavaliers do make people believe that there is hope of a new title in the future.
