Josh Giddey checks back in with five seconds left in the quarter just to inbound the ball. And he throws a beauty to SGA for a layup.
Daigneault dialed the right one up. – 8:12 PM

I think finding spots to run a bit more while the #Cavs don’t play as big is a wise strategy to get Evan Mobley off to a good start offensively this year. Let him find mismatches just like that one and have him capitalize. – 8:09 PM

I love that catch and shoot triple from Chet Holmgren. That’s such a different element at the five spot with how much pressure OKC puts on the rim. – 7:53 PM

When you think Slam covers you think major hype. This season, it’s all about Shai, Giddey, Chet and the OKC Thunder!
But what about Tre Mann?!? We’ve all been there before and I’m all for supporting Tre Mann! 🤣🤣

#Cavs Isaac Okoro didn’t get a new contract. His replacement came this summer. But those factors don’t change how his value or how he’s viewed
