Considering the circumstances (No Garland or Rondo), this might be Cleveland’s best win of the season.

Daniel Gafford admitted his demotion to the bench frustrated him, but wanted to at least be a good teammate on the bench.
I’m sure he’s motivated to still get playing time even once Kristaps Porzingis makes his debut (although that may be some time away). – 8:15 PM Chris Fedor @ChrisFedor
Chandler Vaudrin, a prep star at Uniontown Lake High School who played for #Cavs Summer League Team before tearing his ACL, is in the building tonight. Assistant coach Antonio Lang joked about him suiting up to play guard since Cleveland is so thin at that spot. – 8:15 PM Cleveland Cavaliers @cavs

The Wizards have listed Kristaps Porzingis as out for tonight’s game in Cleveland.

Once Tomas Satoransky is fully integrated, I could see Raul Neto sliding to backup shooting guard and either Ish Smith or Sato could start
