Cavs they’ve been on a little bit of a slump they’ve lost their last two he said they’ve been struggling but we don’t want to give them any life he reminded his team to come out here play tough from the beginning because these two teams they like to go at it
Defensively which is a little rare in today’s NBA the Cavs are third in defensive rating while the pels are six no doubt defense travels as you well know and they have an outstanding road record at 19 and 11 that is second in the NBA percentage wise on the road just
Behind the Boston Celtics you’re officiating crew tonight David goth the crew chief Scott twardoski is the referee dedri Taylor is the Umpire pels in the blue icon Edition uniforms we’re 4 and0 in these uniforms at home this year all white for the Cavs as Jared Allen will win the tip and
Donovan Mitchell will walk it into the front Court moving right to left on your radio dial and they nearly turn it over but it goes through Garland’s hands and he gets it back boy her Jones almost had a steal on the opening possession Mitchell right corner aoro cut off by
McCullum then Powers into the lane CJ blocked it and then picked up by Allen who misses the mid-range aoro gets the rebound and N left free ball no rebound Valen B starting out defensively with Brandon Ingram guarding Donovan Mitchell and Herb Jones against Darius Garland Garland at 20 in the first quarter the
Other night against Phoenix as Jonas valent Tunis steps up top and buries a straightaway three and we are underway from New Orleans welcome home JV absolutely H’s fifth in the league in three-point percentage Mitchell for three left of the top and expect much more of that tonight that the fear that
Is the fear and Hope hopefully his minutes restriction will kick in early the healing powers of the smoother King center Ingram drives right past tooro bumped by Allen no blood no foul a lot of contact rebound aoro up the floor Garland no it’s early but that’s a lot
Of contact back to Mitchell for three of course and it’s Donovan Mitchell six New Orleans three see and the issue is when you go out to the three-point line to guard him he is very much capable of put in the dribble drive on you get to the
Rim now Zion drives in triple team Stripped by Donovan Mitchell taken by Garland up the floor of Coro back to Mitchell Mitchell side steps kick it to Garin for three that is an air ball I think her blocked it he might have up the floor Ingram Nang knocked it away
From herb who had leaked out after the block shot yeah we’re going to have to see what it says officially but I think herb got a finger on that yes yes he did my goodness herb blocks another three what else is new got he’s got to lead
The league in block three it’s he does not he’s close as Zion will power in on Allen and lay it in with a left hand even against the shot blocker Zion too strong when he gets to the left hand the strong hand herds got 49 blocks now on
The season Garland races to the right Baseline and blows a layup he did everything but make the shot it’s four on four the other way now Ingram splits Defenders kicking right corner McCullum for three short strongs side rebound Ingram tiptoes the Baseline bum by aoro
Throw it up from the dotted line I mean aoro filed him twice and finally they blow the whistle well I think bi got away with the I believe he got away with a hook when he was coming out of the corner however Brandon Ingram gets so few calls that we are certainly not
Going to argue about that Ingram had only seven points in Atlanta but he was so impactful as the first free throw is good and we’re tied at six Ingram in 32 minutes had seven points seven rebounds 10 assists so he’s actually scaring a triple double and that’s the beauty of
He and we seen from Z Williamson so far this season those guys might not be scoring early with the second free throw made but they’re initiating for their teammates Ingram 80% at the line knocks them both down and the pels lead 76 9:30 to go first quarter Allen up top guard
Stepping on the arc guarded by Valen as he’s going to go right by him though and finger roll it in that was pretty simple that was pretty nice and Jonas can probably back off Jared Ellen because that’s not his shot he’s not going to be taking three and jumper now herb down
Low Jonas left block double team up top herb passes up to three get it to McCullum CJ sizing up Garland trying to post up Zion right of the lane he’s got him he’s going to back down Donovan Mitchell quadruple team throw it down to valentinis deflect it out of bounds 2.2
On the shot clock okay let’s rewind that possession Jonas valentinas is being guarded by Donovan Mitchell on that catch he’s got to take that shot he’s got to get it quickly and go and not let the double team get to it herb Baseline left got a hurry get it out long theonas
Wide open straight away three front iron no good rebound her back up top CJ for three nope clang off to the right rebound theang so CJ started out over for two cold on the road from three and any finish with a flourish Donovan Mitchell just threw it right to Brandon
Angram up the floor Zion he is hacked missed the finger roll got it back and laid it in I guess they’re going to let that go from Donovan Mitchell who hacked Zion well Nang in the in the retreat so he couldn’t get back and get to the
Rebound as the herb Jones first cheap foul is recorded on a reach in on Garland herb left his man up top and fouled Garland at the top of the key nearly by the nail yeah he’s trying to help out Zion because Zan’s guarding Garland on that one and Garland’s going
To move and trying to help out and commits the foul 98 New Orleans Allen again down low oh oh good when he’s at the front of the rim he’s just about automatic Allen averages a double double 16.2 10.7 Zion underneath missed the layup tipped up yonas no and we can’t
Get it it’s all Zion I believe y yeah so Zion’s missed a couple of shots very close in this game so far he’s two of five Jared all rotated over on that one might have gotten the piece of IT 109 Cleveland eight minutes left first quarter Garland Allen in the lane up top
Mitchell straightway three front iron no good rebound Valen chunis that’s his fourth get it out to Ingram left side front Court picked up by aoro aoro their defensive specialist aoro away get it to Ingam leans in at the nail and the midrange is good yeah he can specialize
On that right there once Brandon Ingam gets to that spot which is his sweet spot he’s going to get be able to get what he wants inam fifth in the league and mid-range buckets a game just a little above 2.8 1110 New Orleans gin pick and roll
With Allen shot fake at the elbow get it to the Yang shot fake left angle Three is that’s a good pump F better wait that one e e e e e e e e for
