He now we’re down to single digits in the shot clock and here comes Mor 12 points, four of 11. flies inside, hits the neck hard, tipped up and in game which people will talk about. He falls a lot like an early and a younger Dwayne Wade Mitchell for 11. He gets his second three. Little side step in here with a move by Brooks. It was deflected. It’s loose. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. a little snub this year probably, but there are a lot of good good players who don’t get to play in the All-Star game. Knee Smith. No way. Got it again and missed it. Get get to push up. Ty, that’s got to catch him. Yeah, captain. A 24-point Cavaliers advantage. There’s another altered shot that was blocked. Off and running is Allen. And Allen puts it down. Try for the pocket pass. Abby comes up with the steal leading to Kissford. He was blocked by Moley. Marshall and Mobly with the swat. You can see Mobly was setting him up for that. He’s 10th in the NBA in blocks. Garland his first shot attempt of the game and it’s a three. [Music] Alvarado missed it. Moy returns it to Bates Dav got hung up a bit by Osman. That was blocked by Moley on a lead pass picked off by Graham. Spurs have numbers. Scarlet’s back court made Donovan Mitchell had 23 first half points. The third most he scored in the first half this season as Sohan tried to muscle his way inside. Lost the ball. If we win three quarters of those basketball games, I think we finished third which would be outstanding. John off Murray. Murray has it whacked away by Moley. Moley with the rejection. Yic, however, got it back. Moy again. Oh my, was that a late foul call. Get their sea legs about them here in the early going. Murray has it blocked from behind by Moley. And a whistle stops play. Crafts the offensive rebound after the purle tap. Now it’s Trent. Trent in towards Garland to the basket. Oh, that’s erased by Moley. Kevin Moley with the rejection. And now comes Mitchell. Great read on the defensive end. Caval turns defense and the offense is Allen throws a this season.

Get that weak stuff out of here. Now you got to start getting stops. You can’t give them second chance opportunity. Garland nearly poked it away from White. White double clutches. Has that knocked out of bounds. Late in the shot clock. Pritchard has to hurry. That was well defended by the Cavs until the offensive rebound by Cornett. Cornett gets it back from Brogen. Puts it up. Eaten alive by Moley who got him from behind. See the night for Moley. 25 points, 13 rebounds, couple of blocks as Brown to the basket. That’s blocked by Mobley right on Q. Brown now works in toward Moley to the basket. Missed the shot. Loose ball. Picked up by Mitchell. Out come the Cavs. They trail by six. Mitchell to the basket. off the Garland. Garland got smart on a fly by. He’s got it. Six on the shot clock for Tyler here. Moley tracking. Moley swatting. Six on the shot clock. He having problems finding a good look here. Tyler for three.

Two minutes left first quarter. A three-point heat lead. Here comes Bam. Got stripped by Evan Mobley. Talented secondyear man. Feeds Alman who plows right over the top of Oladipo. An easy call for Meritt Kogan to make to help our team. Oh wait, you already got paid. That helps a lot. Blocked away by Moley. Mobly was on the end line. It’ll stay with the Hornets. Sends a message to his teammates like, “Let’s attack.” Oh, wow. Moley with the volleyball spike on Maxi Garland. You bet. And finishes. And that would be a big difference maker in the playoffs when every possession is physical. Guys, Cassidy, to your point, he’s gone from a guy who was barely at 50% finishing off. You always get worried about after a situation like this one. Maxi left it short. Tucker keeps it alive again. Harris. No. Tucker again. I don’t know what’s going on all of a sudden in the NBA. Be nice for the basket. Puts it up. Hopeley was there. Gafford, however, with the finish. He dunks. Clears a 258 advantage. Koozman to the basket. Erased by Moley. Oh, he a that shot up. Get that weak stuff out of him. Levert to the basket. He puts it up and in. [Applause] [Music] Porzingis again. Watched by Moley. Moley with the rejection on the 73. Porzingis. Help the offense.

Johnson underneath, ticked away. Bridges comes up with it. Muel Penny Smith got fouled going to the rim and shooting 48.6% since February 9th. All the trades underneath. Blocked there by Moley. You were spot on. And Clax trying to finish. Cannot. Johnson staying with it. Still loose. Finny Smith gathers. Dwitty Spencer Denwy a 23-point 11 assist game beating Claxton. Rolling into traffic. Blocked by Moley. Here’s Porter into the four score. Porter finds Shenu. Shenu to the basket. Had that erased as Moy got a hand in there. So did Allen Moley for 26 and 16 in Brooklyn on Thursday. And there’s Moley in the Cavs defense once again. Moley keeps his dribble. Checks the shot clock. You know he wants to take this shot. Eventually gets rid of it to Shenon.

Moley ends up with a loose ball with a little bit more zest. Just a couple of minor adjustments you need to make, but that always helps right there. Oh, great hustle. Great play. He got cut off by Moley. Relays to the corner. Gets it again. Demar works on Moley. Missed the shot as Moy stayed with him step for step. Strong upper body by Mley. Continues to work on that. McConnell scoops. McConnell wanted goending and I’m not so sure he’s wrong. Penetrating hand. There’s a deflection but good hands by Goa. Missed the shot. He rebounds again. Puts it in.

Balls tripped out of bounds. It’s off of New York. Lebert had it, lost it inside aggressively. Hart took it away and then Levert comes out of the paint. Those active hands again. Here he comes to the rack. How good is Levert there. Barrett just one of eight from three-point range in the first two games. Lobs it up. Robinson catches back. Blocked from behind by Mosley. Robson gets in the paint to Josh Hart. Hart just gets it off in time. A lot of contact with a 24-second violation with five turnovers in the first half. No fouls to give for the Cavs. Hart goes right at Mobley. Blocked by Moley. Still Nick Ball with a second to go. Derek, you can see his confidence growing as this series goes on. Baseline top stripped by Moley. Great hands. Hawks up four. Hawks have won the glass 1611 so far. Johnson as Moy. Well, they got length and they say he’s healthy in camp. Great to see him back in a magic uniform. It’s great to see that man as well. Evan Mley erased that black shot. Welcome to the NBA, young man. Nang with a three. He met with the media the day after the Atlanta game. He was quick to say, “Hey, look, I had four assists and no turnovers.” He’s very proud of that. Turner got it back. He spins on Moley. This time he’s fouled. Huge addition at four years 63 million for Cleveland. Johnson gets the step, drives in Moley. The block that triggers the break. Johnson fires it inside. Double clutch kick. Thomas rims out. Knocked down. Claxton. You get to that body you have control. Cavs made the play on the defensive end as Williams look to drive. Here comes Aoro. Aoro has that knocked out of bounds by Wiggins. This Alexander working on Levert missed it. Loose ball eventually grabbed by Holrid. Hey, puts it up. That’s blocked by Moley.

Aoro throws to the basket. Lost the ball in a bound on Terce Lever here midway through the opening quarter. He did. That was a good shot right there by Moley. that little 14 15 ft shot. Want to see him take more of those. Get comfortable with that. He’s going to get that a lot. Great defense by Lever has 22 in this first half as the Casm gone cold from the last few minutes and they get a defensive stop there. Hallebertton looks to drive, puts it up, deflected by Moley. 90 seconds to go and gets one there that he’s able to turn into a bucket. Barrett makes a move. Stress is in the way. Knocked away by Moley. It triggers it for the Cavs. Aoro sidstepping Brunson by the Knicks. Mobley went hard, but the Knicks had four guys around him. Moley got in the way of that Brunson shot. Brunson’s got 19. So Mitchell Robinson was inside. Baldley got a pace of it, but Robinson stays with it. But folks, that’s an aberration. Robinson trying to create off the bounce. The teams are working to get some points on the board. No uncontested shots here. Randle crossover drive inside. Blocked by Moble. This is basically the same play they started off. This time they did it to the other side. Topin inside again. It’s swallowed up by Moy halfway to his 10-point average. 41 Pacers. Bruce Brown on the drive with a left hand. Taken out of there by Moley. Hallebertton can throw it back to him. In the corner now is Matan goes inside and he lost it. You got the same problem. [Applause] Bob it up. Toppin catches. Blocked by Moley. That’s one he’s got to just take right up. Since his out since his knee problems, his lateral movement is not good. Thomas straight my brain inside. That’s erased by Moley. Get that mixed up out of here. It’s back down to single digits after the three-point play by Moley who’s got 22 seconds to score for the Cavaliers. Going to try to close this one out. SGA once again. The tip in Wallace right there. Right place, right time. Everything’s on the line. Like I feel like we’re going to see a level of intensity that maybe isn’t like a play in tournament because it’s not like this is the last game of your season being able to have the ball in his hands and make those decisions. So now here he is in the open floor knowing what to do with it. Will get back to the free throw line. Recovered by the Blazers who trail by 16. Seven8 to go here in the fourth quarter. Putting his head down as Maze into the paint. That is denied by Moley. Kept in bounds and Wade will take over. Joic grabs a loose ball. He’ll rumble into the four court. Find Gordon. Now Porter Porter tiptoes baseline. Got there but that was blocked by Moley. He does that so well. the continuation of dribble until he gets to the basket, then he can shoot it. Gordon finds a cutter. It’s Brown has totally got a piece of it from behind. If we get into pick and roll with Maxi and Embiid, I’d really like to see Embiid roll. Oh, Moy denies Harris. What a block by Evan Mobley. Instead of that breakdown I’m talking about, you just go make it happen. Go take it. Take it from him. Malachi Flint down the right alley. He’ll find a Chua that’s rejected by Mobley. Just like that. He got stuck in the air. Thought he got fouled. Dam’s got to watch himself as he was really barking at Eric Dalon as Barnes to the basket off his chest and out of bounds. What an offensive play. I’d see it go through the basket. That’s just better for the Cavaliers basketball team. Young Lawrenella Moley got a hand up and it’s and it’s giving them it’s yielding points. Mcdonovich reverses and misses. Boy, Capella and Moley are in a real battle here in this first half. Young is picked up by Levert on the switch. [Applause] [Music] Goes to work to the basket. Rejected by Moley. And this is the inseason tournament. The Cavs aren’t trying to run it up or do anything unsports. No, no, not at all. No. Everybody understands Griffin has that rejected by Moy. And we have a shot clock violation. Another workmanlike night with big numbers. You know, it’s lunch bell. What? He knocks that away. Moy was in there. So was Levert. That got knocked away from Fernando. They go three in. They’re going to go three here in group play. Finish. Whoa. Second in the group. Moy with another rejection. Wade heads to the Cavaliier bench. Good short by Wade as Wade four plus minutes scores five points. Ev Moy with the play but the Magic get it back. Garland who recently returned after missing 19 games with a jaw injury has been working back to full strength and he has had an extra little jump here tonight. Fox in toward Moley and Moley just ate him alive. Here’s Amaru as that ball was just taken away by Moley but look at Amaru staying with it. Gino inside and scores. Thomas Smith drives in missed it. rebound on a tip. Bridges denied, but a foul with 29.4 on the clock. Like I like I said, I’m uh really happy to be here and uh make a you know impact of winning. Well, Dennis, thank you for the time. Congratulations and welcome to Brooklyn, the National Organization. Appreciate it. Back to you, Ian. All right, Megan, thanks so much. I think a big part of the reason why it points off in advance. 111 run. Garland’s been fabulous. Five assists. He has made some big plays the last few trips. Brady three doesn’t go. Oh, nice job of the Cavs running downhill though. You got three guys attacking the basket. Got to get back on that defensive end just like that. Nice job by Evan Hogley with the deflection. Here comes Strus. Mitchell back to Stru. He lays it in and only get one shot. No, no offensive rebound. Maxi works his way to the basket. There’s that tough shot you were looking for as got some Twin qualifying races coming up Thursday and Friday and then Sunday. We’re going to go get that back to back. Love it. And that’s rejected by Evan Mobley. Go get him again, Brad. Proud of you. Thank you. Take him up on that. It’s the last game before the All-Star break. Some of us get a break. Others of us are going to a track in Florida to take care of business. Go take care of business upcoming weekend. Moaba into the ball game. Blocked by Evan Mobley. That’s where the CS Drummond posting up. Wheels on Moley. Oh, he send it back. Put that on Paul. Drummond kept it alive. tipped it to himself. Moley got a piece of it. Drummond looking for the foul in Orlando as the Cavs rolled the Magic that night. Moving inside. He can’t hit that ball. Karen’s out of bounds and it will stay in a game where we’re struggling a little bit to score the basketball. Stru has nine points and a team high four assists. Vancero looks to wind in toward Mobly. Piv blocked by Mobley. Spruce almost knocked it away from Gary Harris who has re-entered. Fron Vagner down the lane rejected by Mobley and out of bounds it goes and he’s played like an MVP candidate and deserves to be in the discussion. Fourth in the league in scoring second in steals. They’re without that tonight. Moley gets the rejection on Bomba. They’re hoping he’s back Sunday in Washington. Maxi gets it to Ubé and Ubé has it blocked by both Moy and Allen. Strong move, great block. Got the second quarter underway. Miller Drew Good and Megan McPeek with you. It’s uh it’s a reason why he got paid that amount of money. Not only playing for a dynasty, but his role was the six-man and to put the ball in the hole. He’s going to average over 30 plus minutes a game whether he comes off the bench or starts. And his shot was redirected as the Cavaliers on the break. Patrick Baldwin Jr. nice cut by Mowgli. And I was going to say Marvin Baggley took the gamble as a big making that play cuz usually if that’s unsuccessful, you’re coming out the game. Came out the game anyway. More than two to go in the third. Holmes again trying to get to that rim. It was last touched by Moley. Moy now at 21. Maggley loses it. [Music] [Applause] That’s a good sign for them come playoff time that they can play in different ways with different personnel. Wolley blocks to Rozan who got it back with five. Fakes it. Kicks it. White fires. Tell you what, he he came in the league defense already kept. D Rozan working very hard and he gets rejected by Moley then recovers and scores. There’s a switch.

Malachi Flynn to four court. Quenton Grimes works against Scroos. Grimes with a drive. Lost the ball. Merrill to four court. drives it. Ball patted, picked up by Jaylen Dur. Block at 10. Isaiah Stewart for three and it’s through. They get the switch so he can go to work on Merrow way offensive rebound. Herstein rejected smart win this game to trigger. They’ll find Maxi. Maxi looks to shake on a coral and runner is rejected by Evan Mobley who sent it into the third row. Looks for UB back door. U makes the catch. The contest was made by Moley. Ubé got it back and then Mowgli with the rejection. Boy, nice job by Evan Moley not giving up on that play. You can add this man to that list. Ubé. UB gets inside and he got forced into the rim by Moley. And BJ working outside against PA. He’ll go right hand thrown. Aaron Gordon nowhere to go. Goes out to Christian Brown. Harris Lever on him. Brown go almost rejected but I think popped in the gut and Moy is one of those nearly 16 a game. Here’s Saxon drives draws a crowd. Ball slapped out of bounds with just over four on the shot clock with under three and a half left. Jazz had it into single digits. Back now to 13 blocked. [Music] Two-minute mark here in the third quarter. Eubanks. I don’t know if he was trying to dunk or kick it out. He got caught in the air. Oh, you grew. Hey, he’s flourishing. Here is Vincent. Oh, Jackson. Go ahead and follow it up with a slam like that. Borrow was sorely missed by the Cavs on the defensive end there in those first four games. Wow, what a play by Evan Mo as Jackson had thoughts of throwing that down until he saw the sevenfooter right in his face. Half a minute to go in the first quarter since his pass is flicked by Gar eventually comes to Stevens. Stevens halfway down the alley that’s rejected by Mo. Here’s Simpson. Simpson got a decent run, but he throws the pond quickly and Moley has another half to win out is what you’re saying. Well, we’ll see. Here comes Je to the basket. He puts it up. Moley with yet another block as Moy has four blocks. He’s had an extra gear here early as he come down the alley. Speaking of an extra gear, Mobly with the rejection says, “No, get that stuff out of here.” Screws cruises around Hallebertton. He lays it in. [Music] Folks, keeps it swept. Defense is starting to to settle and shift and get prepared. Vagner to the basket. That may have been tipped by Evan Mobley. Here comes Aoro. The Cavs had their largest lead. Aoro rumbles to the basket and lays it in. and opportunities when you struggle to score the basketball in the half court. You got to take advantage from the free throw line. Offensive rebound put backs. Shot clock still running. They’re going to have to reset the clock. Die attempts a triple. That’s off. Cole Anthony up the floor. Inside out dribble drive. Hesitates. And that was enough time for Moley to close Brown and just snuff that attempt out of bounds. I I love uh Fran Vogner’s game as well. Davies have to figure out how to put it all together. You see a mega block right there by J. He’s got to make some shots to really get this crowd turned on. 29 and 12 during the course of the regular season. Carter will drive it and takes it strong. Minutes the summon by Moley. The denial by Moley. 10 on the timer. Bner beautiful move. Step through. The finger roll though is rejected by Moley. Recovered by Allen. But they don’t they weren’t they don’t shoot as poorly as they shot those first two games. Vagner pocket pass inside to Verolo. That’s blocked away by Moy. Walker survey finds it inside Jun. [Applause] Here’s Fodner skipping, jumping Moley with the block and Carol off the front rim. No. Wendell Carter Jr. John Vodner back to Windell Carter Jr. Two hand block by Moley and he brings it up the floor. Moley in the corner to Garland. They swing it baseline and good. Shot clock turned off. Vagner crossover left wing jar to the hole. Blocked by Moley. What a block with 3.2 to go. Evan Moley. People know about Darius Garland from the standpoint of can he be a playmaker? Can he be a scorer? Yes, he can do all of those things, but I think for this Cavs team, they need his aggression on the scoring side of the ball. Donovan Mitchell has dealt with a knee injury throughout this season. Fogner gets denied by Moley who had the game ceiling block in game five. How about Carter able to snare it back. Vanero. Oh, what a block. Mobly. The denial. Vanero. Five to shoot. Gives it back. Vodner underneath. Isaac. Two to shoot. Gets denied by Moley. And look, if you ask the Cavs fans right now if they would take a one-point lead to start the third quarter here in Orlando after those first two games, I think they would take it. Anthony dances around Morris. Surges in. What a block from Moy. And then the save might have been even better. Carlin wanted a foul as well. Suggs pushing the pace. Goes inside. Stripped by Moley. Out of bounds. Excellent hands by the big man to create separation and finish. Vancaro double team finds Harris. Harris goes inside. Blocked by Moley. Vancaro inside pass to Suggs. Blocked by Moley. His third rejection and Fron both on the floor. That’s Fron. Fron on the drive. Gets inside. Blocked by Moley. His fourth rejection of the game. 83% make that 30 of 36 now and Carol drives inside. Moley block again. Five blocks from Moley. It’s going to be the impact that those other guys can have when they create opportunities to score. Jason Tatum went hesitation dribble got it back and he pleads up his own miss. I really believe that Derek White could have driven that ball and gotten something a little bit easier, but they want three-point shots. Brown gets denied by Moley on the pass attempt. Gets it back though. Here’s White. He got it. Coro on him. Three to shoot. Tatum spinning, floating. No, Cornet had it. Knocked away by Moley. And Aoro comes away with it. They’ve made the adjustments and it’s put them in a much better position. Here’s Brown into the paint. Unable to finish. Mobly looked like there was a lot of contact there. Would have been number three. No call. Mitchell lobbing it up and Moy to develop before you throw that inside. Celtics took command of this series with their defense spurring them at this side of the floor as T nine shots. That’s what you want. You want to see that level of aggression and that is also a matchup I think that he can win. Jaylen Brown trying to go euros. He was swallowed up by Moy. Rib injury in the playoffs. spoke about it at media day just how difficult it was for him not to be able to play is there’s what Allen could do on the defense left hand side of your screen got his hand on that inside back comes Sam Merrill Merill finds a trailer is Garland off to Mitchell Mitchell right around Mujish jumps off to Mley and Mley lays it in and putting people in position to be successful about helping teams and coaches realize lineups and matchups and just knows talented players and we’re lucky to have him here he’s been throughout the league. And coach, talk about this game coming up uh with Michigan. How do folks get tickets? Uh you know, give us your thoughts on all of that. Seemed like it, didn’t it? Yes. Lamar Stevens spins and fires. It’s off the heel. Reed with a rebound back up. Spoted by Moley. Paul Reed with a rebound. How about Sasser guarding Moley a moment ago and forcing Moley to have to give that ball up. Sasser. Nice bounce to Reed. Shot blocked though by Mobley to Lavine on the push and gets stripped. Mobley was able to worked his way up and I think he brings a really good experience and eye to this Bull’s staff. Now he’s got a championship pedigree as Moy gets that block. Lavine it to Nosumu and the Cavs get back fast. What a nice shake. Good block by Moly. So you have to be really special like a Mitchell, like a Vince Carter and you really have to have awareness where the defense is or you don’t care too. Quickly blocked. Here’s shed back to Barnes. Clocked down. Puts it on the deck. Tied up. Stays with it. Shot clock violation. Raptors a drought offensively to begin the second. Here’s Scotty attacking trying to go over Mobley with a block. Here’s Levert. Very unselfish play by the Cavaliers. Donovan Mitchell’s become a facilitator early on. Cunningham floats and misses. The big side rebound was grabbed by Durham, but Mowgli got a piece of it. The ball ends up out of bounds and it will stay with the Pistons. Holland, however, gets it back. Holland races to the basket and Moley erases it at the basket. Mitchell’s all alone. Showtime. Four tonight, Drew. And he’s played seven minutes and his team’s up five. Balo got him locked. There’s JV with the tap in once again being guarded by Sar who’s spinning, loses the basketball, got it back. This time he kicks it out to Jordan. Jordan hits another three. We’ll see what it is. Jordan P five to Valenunis. Valenunis was blocked by Mobley, but Valenunis there to secure and that’ll be a goalend. Count the basket. Get up the balance the other night and sharing the ball with Oh, Mitchell blocked by Anobi. Brunson goes at Lever. Blocked by Moley and Garland comes out with it. coaching that team and watching on the sidelines come May. Mobly hits the three and then Mobly makes the defensive stop on the other end and the Cavs are on the move with that pace. Nang and a foul by Okoro over the back. An offensive foul. When Evan picks up that ball, what are they going to do? Homeley with the rejection. The Bucks bench once goending we play on. Homeley through traffic to the basket. Lopez with that long reach. Knocks it away from Porter. Boris takes the hand off from Prince. Missed the first shot, missed the second, but gets the third to go. That’s encouraging though. Once again, here from this terrific crowd, which is full thrown and Moley makes an ejection on Poris. Played really well in their win over Milwaukee. They wanted to travel. They’re not going to get it. So what you have to keep your eye on here, you keep your eye on Evan Moley. Mitchell wide open. There you go. Jose on the run and blocked. It was Moley right back at it. Way to stay with it. And Moley’s got three games of three or more blocks. He’s one of only six guys in the NBA to do that. There multiple threats beyond the arc. Eve up against Moley. And Moy got a piece of it. Cleared away by Allen. Stepping out pass to Wiggins. Wiggins. One time Cavaliers drops it and gets rejected by Heaven Moley. Get that weak stuff out of here. with his head up. Garland. Great pass inside to a wideopen Moley. He’s He gets on top of it right away. Draymond didn’t want the three. Gives it to Wiggins instead. Wiggins drives. That’s blocked by Mobley. And then Allen rejects Jackson Davis. A Toro down the lane. Shruder inside the arc. He’s taking a lot of time here. Now Johnson got forced inside the arc. Oh, Moody with the rejection. Shooter deals off and the Nets are going to run out of time. And what a fitting ending to the ball game. Movey with a dagger block. Corner short. Martin ahead of McCain. Makes the three, launches the three. That one’s shorts. Now Belli still working for it. Great effort from Gershon. Jackson from the corner. No. Put the pressure on the Hornets defense. Williams wants ball gets it there as balls chased above his back to Williams. He goes down the lane that was rejected by Mobley. They fire up 51 a ball game. Yeah, I think that’s the key is not trying to match their three-point output. It’s going up. You know, you you got to take advantage and go to the other end like you get a possession. Rebounded by the Hornets. Brandon Miller. Miller down the alley trying to throw it down and Evan Moley said no. Wow, what a block by Evan Mobley. Mula asking Brown to be a little more selfish as Moy gets the block coming out of the timeout and Nang dishes inside and returns the favor. Mobley on both ends. George plays some long minutes last night. Boy, the Pelicans went in goending there. We play on. Nice job by Evan Mobley not giving up on that play. Tyson maneuvers inside of a number of folks and the high shot as well. Brett, there’s Robinson. Earl sweeps one off to Payton. Bait alley for Mei. Mei got caught flatfooted. Had to make the catch. Come down with it. Moley with the rejection and Moy comes up with the loose ball. Pelicans having a difficult time in rotating defensively and keeping up with the basketball. Robinson Earl inside eaten alive by Moley. Boy, Moley just absolutely annihilated that shot. Macy had that ran through an hour and a glass to turn it over with the steel into the basket. Oh, rejected by Mobly. Oh goodness. A lot of weight. Still as slender build as Ree, but reportedly going in the right direction. And boy, Quint Snder wanted a foul called by Donovan Mitchell as Hunter the other way. waning seconds. Puts it up. Blocked by Mobley. The follow’s no good as the Cavs. Tatum directs traffic. Boy, this is such an interesting matchup, right? On so many levels. Tatum works inside. That’s rejected by Moley. Porzingis. Long two. It’s good. Holiday fakes the three. Goes underneath. Mobley with the rejection. Holiday tried to throw it off. Moy. He did, but it carams right to Jiren Allen. Uh-oh. As Holiday took it back. Looking for somebody open to shoot. Get that ball right there to Cornet. Make him pass it. Pressured underneath. Back to Coronet. Oh, erased by Moley. Sar has a lot of range. The youngster with those long arms shown some shot blocking ability at this level and so has this man. He’ll hoist a three. It’s short. The long rebound, however, is picked up by Sar. Sar gets into the paint and gets his shot blocked by Evan Mobley. Eighth year now as a pro. He’s 28 years of age. Five-time all-star Donnie Mitchell. Another block shot. This time Moy got a finger on Beaches shot. Moy right there. Look at him extend. Perfect timing and keep that ball in play. Hey, this possession is not going anywhere fast. Beans and chicken salad. Nope. Not going to happen. They’re trying to screen Harold. Milton find it down. Bounces out to Milton here. for this season in this building as the Cavs are 14-1. This first half has been no exception. Cavs by 20. Yiannis had it knocked away and the Sixers were tied after one. The Cavs led by 11 heading into the locker room. That lead has ballooned to 23. Maxi to the basket. Has it knocked away. You get those three-pointers to go down in transition. That’s backbreaking material. Good pass break by the Cavs. Good block. Saxon has it rejected by Moley. Mobly has Mitchell. Mitchell sprays it off the Garland inside to Mobly who hammers it home. Half step into the paint off one leg. It doesn’t go. It’s tipped picked up by Sensallon and that’s blocked by Mley. Loose ball tipped eventually grabbed by Struz. The Cavs have time. Mitchell for three. Got it. That rebound by Evans was number 2000 of his career. And then he cast with a block on Kesler. Kesler gets it back and done. Brought it up to another level, I would say. Seems like it. Pickerstaff did a pretty good job, at least record-wise. Took him to the playoffs. 53 and 49 wins. And Moy says, “Get it out of here.” That’s from Moy. Jared Allen just kind of crashed into him. Moved a little too much on that screen. Step to Trace down the lane and saw Moley and Dean Wade bother him on that. 18 points in the paint of their 27 points. A lot of those points come in and have it for some of it as Flaminga got denied there. Draymond got Moley just about two feet further than he wanted and he missed that jumper. Flaminga taking it inside and Moy called for the foul. But that’s where he has actually improved his game as Draymond took off after the contest. Not able to get the foul. That’s the night. That’s the night. [Music] and got as good a defender as there is. Just couldn’t reverse it. Got his own rebound. Created a little space and got him again. Mitchell made his 15003 [Music] in the game last night. Ruy gets blocked. Here comes Cleveland. Defense, offense. [Music] Spacing not good right now. Here’s Hardy on the move and swatted by Moy and saved in by the Cavaliers. Guys are looking for him and he’s making the defense pay. Hardy logging lively catching. Great job. Here’s Salon perilously late in the shot clock off the Miller for a contestant. Three of them is blocked by Mobley and it’s a shot clock violation. He’s not happy. Miller. He’ll send one back and find Simpson. Simpson into the paint. That’s rejected by Moley. You know, because of the communication. That’s why he did so well on the West Coast. I mean that ball was moving almost like a quarterback throwing it into windows at times. Smith blocked by Moley to end the third. He gets his feet square pointed at the goal. It’s automatic for Donovan. Whoa. Mley just blocked the Seakum three and Seaka missed that badly. Why? Because the other sevenfooter and Allen came over to contest the shot. Demhard been a terrific player in this game and Moby with a block. Cleveland crashing the glass against the smaller defense. Cleveland has eight straight shots before that hit by Mitchell just like most people are. He said that the Thunder hit him with hurricaneike force. Of those 13 turnovers, eight of them were live ball turnovers. So clearly they got to take care of the ball. Got to play smart and discipline basketball. Fred Van Blate is guarded by Mitchell. Shenon sets a screen. Van Blle picked up by Moley. scores the tough shot there as Mitchell grabs the loose ball. Shangon around the perimeter finds Jaylen Green. Green had a strong first half. Shenon touch pass inside of Thompson. That’s blocked by Evan Mobley. The balls to Max Struce. The 19-year-old Holland will find Cunningham. Cunningham tracks baseline. He ran smacking to Moy. Mobley with the rejection and out of bounds it goes. The ball belongs to the Cavaliers. For the Pistons, it’s Cunningham plus four reserve. Beasley, Fonteio, Stewart, and Holland. Beasley looks to muscle his way through Sam Barrow. He never got there. That’s crazy. That’s seven points now for Mitch. Bees made three of his first four shots. His hero occupies two defenders. Mobley sent it back and the ball goes off. Hero out of bounds. Yes, it is. That’s where they started their relationship. Now teammates in the NBA. Nance drops it off. Crown. He’s held by Nang. top 10. You might as well just tackle. You’re not going to stop him. Marshall wide. Lebert openly with a block. Boy, the Dallas bench at goalending 26 lead. MS are going to get Anthony Davis, Max Christie in a first in 2029. The Lakers get Luca, Max Clea, and Markeith Morris. Utah was involved in the deal as well as Mley with his second rejection on this floor against the Golden State Warriors a handful of weeks ago. Hexom has that rejected by Evan Bowley. That is Evan’s third swat. So you go through these munitions and you’re playing excellent basketball and that breeds that confidence that you realize Marcus Sasser to Ron Holland slices through the lane back in the corner to Simone Fonte. Shot was partially blocked pulled down inside by Paul Reed who scores. He’s making his presence known. Double sec. He’ll drive it. Dishes it to Jaylen Dur. And the shot is blocked by Mobley. Tied him up. Doubles to Kade. He’ll drive it. Dishes it to Jaylen Dur. And the shot is blocked by Moley. Tied him up. Kade spins to the lane. Dumps it deep to Reed. Moley got a piece of the shot. Reed gets it back. Feeds Ron Holland who cuts to the basket. 110. 102. Cleveland Kade to Hardway Jr. whips it down deep. Jaylen Dur trying to go up and jam it. Points come in here in the second half. 23 total. Now he blocks Kissford shot. Goes to Alexander Walker. Alexander Walker deals to Reed. Back it goes to McDaniels. He’ll drive and get rejected by Emmany. Here goes the sevenfooter. Moley lost the ball, gets it back, banks it up and B. There’s always room on your roster for a guy that’s really smart. Is that guy Daniels trying to open up for a mid-range jumper and Evan Mobley said no. And here comes Joe Engles. He’ll lumber into the fourth court. Whoa. Again, he finds Goar who appeared to walk. Evan Moley says it doesn’t matter as he blocks another shot. Alexander Walker’s three was way short, but he gets it back. He’ll dump back to Clark. Now Dillingham. Dillingham, the rookie, works his way inside. That’s rejected by Moley. 38% from behind the arc. He can stretch the defense. And they got some guys off the bench that can do the same. Mobly. Walter. The rookie puts it on the deck. Attacking. The help comes. Moy with the denial. And that’s a huge part of it. So much has been anchored as of late by the play of Nick Claxton and Don Sharp. Here’s Claxton. Claxton center of the lane denied by Moley and a jump ball is called. Cleveland three for 12 for three. All nice delivery from Russell. But then Mobley able to strip it away. Now running the break. Hunter surges in and lays it home. Crosscourt. Hayes bounces. Sharp gets denied by Moley. [Music] denied by Moley. Aua able to flip it in though before the shot clock expired. An 112 Cleveland run. Blocked by Moley. Sounds like we might know a little bit about who we talking about. We just talked about Evan Moley. And you got to get a body on him well before the ball goes up, but it’s difficult to do when he’s on the perimeter. Williams on a drive. Left it short. Moley clears. Such a leader in this Cavaliers locker room. Even though they have the best record in the East, best record in the NBA, he routinely tells his guys, “We haven’t accomplished anything yet.” Edy, another follow flush. Well off the mark. Wells, long rebound. Going to take on Aoro. Blocked from behind by Moley. Okay, he didn’t make it. He created that bucket. He drew the help that took a body off of Mobly. Moy gets the offensive rebound. Floater. No. Vagner. Isaac. Offensive rebound blocked by Mobley. Ron Vogner is laughing a little bit. I mean, he knows he got away with a foul that time. Harris rejected by Moy. And Moley’s defense is incredible. Been a breakout season for him. Sometimes it doesn’t happen right away. This is sixth year. Blocked by Moy. Coro picks it up. Aia as Brown is in full throat. Abia had a knife inside that’s rejected by Evan Mobley who then had a step over the fallen Sam Merrill usurping Rooney Cyley out of Iowa. Couple of pump fakes got the block. He waited him out underneath. Got it. I’m not a scout. I’m not a Curry. But that shot looked great to me. Pure good stroke. LaMelo darts inside. Has to deal with Moley. See if you can execute down the stretch. Let’s see if the Hornets try to play through Merk. He wanted the ball in the block. That was touched. Oh, I think that could have been a goalender. Intercepted. Lillard outside to Kosma. Baseline drive blocked by Moble. off the offense, I mean to say. Not that time for Wilson. Martin hustles for the basketball and gets a second chance for Brooklyn. Watford shot puts it up. That was blocked by Moley. You have 15 fast break points. Jiren in a crowd. Ball picked up by Canard. It worked and it grew and was still pretty darn good. Hard in the three blocked by Moy. Moy leaks behind the defense. 6’5 200 lb. Wiler knifing to the basket. Blocked away by Moley. Yeah, especially when you’re able to pull Mobly. Yeah. 23 ft away from the rim. Right. That time Moy wins that one-on-one battle. Garland racing down the floor between the legs. Still trying to find position. Nice roll inside out. Shovel pass inside. And how about the dump low the bucket drops inside. Oh, try to force it to Allen. Collier steps in, drives. Oh my goodness. Behind the back pass. Thought he had finished, but he was looking for sex. And here’s [Applause] [Music] here’s Colin. Drives inside. denied at Los Angeles at Sacramento at Phoenix before stopping the bleeding at Utah with a big win 12091. Mitchell pocket pass or you should say thinking of Donovan Mitchell pocket pass to Bon here. Scoot and so before Anthony could even decide if he wanted to help or not, Auroral was already gone. Ball popped free. Got to reth his hook blocked. They are number one in percentage, number four in attempts into the lane. Oh, ripping down was Moley and no whistle at the buzzer. Teriy feeling too good. They got to stop him first in the corner for Jerome. Bobby looked like Bumbley got a piece of that. Isaiah Stewart against Moley uses that strength. Got the hook in the air. It wouldn’t fall. Pisses up 119 to 112. Dennis Shruder with the drive. Gets to the rim. Blocked by Moley. Good on the defensive end as well. Oh, Dunn scurries out of the corner only to get rejected by Moley. Jones. He missed badly as Allen was there out of bounds. It goes sweep one back to Dunn. Dun nice inside. Ran into Moley. Chucked it up. comes to Dumas who had it rejected and it’s a shot clock violation. That’s ridiculous, Mike. You know, Carl Towns is in a drop and just going to work that screen until he gets to the spot he wants. All right, knocked down. Excellent defense. Getting too many wide open looks to start off this one. Moley had 13 points last game. He’s got 16 already. Kell blocked. Mamu right there. First shot. Quick outlet. Auroro stolen by Wesley. Castle with some room heavy with Moy got blocked. Barnes wants to post up Aoro. Quick spin up under didn’t hit the rim. Shot clock violation and Aoro got popped in the mouth. Here’s Sabonis. Whoa. Sabonis stops, bounces off to Jones. Jones couldn’t get it to go. Sabonis grabs the rebound. Got tied up by Hunter and we have a jump ball. Pulls his way inside back to Carter. Boy, Mitchell just plucked it away from Carter that last time down to set up the fast break. Valentunis has it rejected by Evan Mobley. Dash. You’re going to have a great opportunity to win this basketball game, but you got to keep building upon that. Sacramento’s not going away. Malik Monk checks in and Gallops inside that was knocked away from Zabonas, but he knocks it down. Tremendous concentration by Daryl. He heard Carter coming. He heard the footsteps and still able to make the shot. And no, no, you do not. That’s also was a concern with this Cavs team from a year ago, right? They just example of it there. They just Andrew Wiggins over his first four turn back Mobly. That towering interior presence, the NBA’s newly minted defensive player of the year. Boy, exquisite pass. Why not? Everything else working for this team tonight. Bio ahead of the field to Hero. Knives inside. Swallow it up. Powers. Bam. Cleans it up. And this start by the Cleveland Cavaliers shown that they’ve put that loss, that comeback loss behind them. Allever gets denied by Moy. Controlled by Cleveland. They have numbers to the naked eye. Looked like they had a case. Those two guys played at Texas. I’m sure they played pickup. They fouled each other much harder than that. Hallebertton. Beautiful dish. And then Moy on the rejection. Max Strus delivering in game three as Moy soarses for the rejection. But Hallebertton’s numbers since the Allstar break just astounding for the Pacers. Here he comes again underneath Bryant turned back by Moley. You would think for a guy at his level from the line. Here comes Albertton. Turn back Mobly. We’re down to 90 seconds.

Mobley blocks, Lauri rebounds, Windler 3s…. 😭 ah the memories. That Markenen, Mobley, Allen era was really pretty nuts
