REACTION: Cleveland Cavaliers CLINCH Home Court Advantage In First Round! | Defense a CONCERN?
On this edition of Locked On Cavs, Danny Cunningham reacts to the Cleveland Cavaliers defeating the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday night to clinch home court advantage in the first round of the Eastern Conference Playoffs. Danny begins the show by talking about the lack of energy the team had at the start of the game, allowing the Grizzlies to build a 17-point lead in the first half on their way to tying an NBA record for most 3-pointers made in a game with 29. Next, Danny talks about the performance of several key contributors in the win, including Evan Mobley, Jarrett Allen and Dennis Schroder. Finally, Danny reacts to the Cavs earning their 50th win of the season, despite having to deal with plenty of adversity.

Are you concerned about Cleveland's 3-point defense?
I'm confused why are we not using J..B defensive principles n Kenny offense we was top 3 every year under J.B just use the defense they have been in for 3 years because what they are doing now isn't working at all
😂😂😂😂 it seemed like Memphis couldn't miss a shot almost broke the record and still lost by 16 😂😂😂 boy when u bad it sucks 💯 let's go cavs
It's TIME to REST pl;ayers…BIG TIME…..SHUT it down…..NO injuries…PLEASE! Kenny has been talking about health and being fresh for the playoffs…Well…here's your chance! Don't show the Hawks anyrthing….they will be your opponent…let them have BOTH games….the Hawks will be trying….Cavs…BETTER be RESTING!!!! NO excuses. I want NO PART of that Celts bracket or take any chance on injuries duringMEANINGLESS games!
Mobley started. Reigning DPEY. Max contract player. Needs to lead the D. No intensity until Tomlin.
Danny thank you for your contribution to the Cleveland media & covering the Cavs bro you're definitely the best doing it!!!
Please go supper in depth with seeding possibilities tm, looking forward to it
