Crossover episode: San Antonio Spurs-Cleveland Cavaliers game preview
The San Antonio Spurs test their depth against the Cleveland Cavaliers, with Victor Wembanyama and Stephon Castle sidelined. Can San Antonio’s collective effort, with De’Aaron Fox, Devin Vassell, and rookie Dylan Harper stepping up, sustain their winning streak?
Locked On Spurs host Jeff Garcia and Locked On Cavs host Danny Cunningham discuss how the Spurs’ balanced attack and veteran leadership from Harrison Barnes keep them afloat, while the Cavs struggle to find their rhythm despite massive three-point attempts and recent roster challenges.
Danny Cunningham breaks down Cleveland’s woes—injuries, inconsistent shooting, and surprising defensive lapses—while addressing fan concerns about the Cavs’ underwhelming start after high preseason expectations. Key talking points include Darius Garland’s lingering effects from last season’s playoff injury, Mitch Johnson’s calm leadership style for San Antonio, and tactical holes in the Spurs’ perimeter defense.

Champagnie… Barnes… FOX… Vassell …
Let's make tons of 3-pointers tonight !!!
Olinyk needs to step up
I think kornet is the secret sauce low key right now
is kornet out for rest or injury?
Let’s see how we can defend the 3 tonight. Most teams have had their way from the perimeter so far. I’d like to see some Carter minutes
