Perspective usually makes us lose track of how big NBA players actually are. Ja Morant is taller than the average person, yet he looks tiny next to Jarrett Allen. That was the case when the latter put him on a huge poster during Sunday night’s win over the Memphis Grizzlies.
Riding high on a seven-game winning streak, the Cavs could be without Darius Garland on the road against the Magic.
In a fiery and spirited game between two of the NBA’s best teams, the short-handed Cavs held off the Memphis Grizzlies, 129-123. Cleveland has won seven straight games while Memphis has lost three of the last four.
Donovan Mitchell scored 24 points and the NBA-leading Cleveland Cavaliers rallied for their 13th straight victory, 118-117 over the Charlotte Hornets on Friday night. Darius Garland added 20 points to help the Cavaliers improve to 53-10.
