#Cavs Darius Garland-Evan Mobley pick-and-roll dance starting to dice up Brooklyn to open the second quarter. Quick timeout for the Nets to talk about it. Cleveland has been using Mobley as a screener much more since the All-Star break. – 8:14 PM

Evan Mobley with a good start to the second quarter here. He’s got a quick six points and the #Cavs have opened on an 8-2 run, prompting a Nets timeout. – 8:13 PM

At the end of the first, Nets have a 33-31 lead over the #Cavs. Cleveland was in control in the first half of the quarter, but then Nets had two buckets there in the last 30 seconds of the quarter to re-energize them and give them the lead. – 8:09 PM

Pretty bad close to the first quarter for the #Cavs. They’re down 33-31 to the Nets. Donovan Mitchell has 12 points and started the game hot, but Brooklyn closed the quarter on a 17-7 run. Nets made seven of their last eight shots of the quarter. – 8:08 PM

Day’Ron Sharpe is making an impact again.
Just had an incredible block with an extremely athletic finish on the other end. Quite the two-way sequence. – 8:07 PM

A great start for the #Cavs, especially on the offensive end. They lead the Nets 22-14 with 6:14 left in the first quarter. Donovan Mitchell is already up to 12 points. They also have four assists on 7 made shots. – 7:51 PM

Mitchell with another 3-pointer, he’s up to 12 on the night. #Cavs with a 22-14 lead early on here at Barclays. Isaac Okoro has knocked down a pair of 3s, too. – 7:51 PM

That corner 3 from #Cavs Isaac Okoro is the one he couldn’t make in the play-in tournament against Brooklyn and led to him getting pulled out of the lineup last year. Different stakes. Different caliber opponent. But that’s THE SHOT that will be there for him — and MUST hit it. – 7:49 PM

That was a beautiful one-handed pass from Donovan Mitchell to Jarrett Allen, who then found Isaac Okoro open in the corner for a 3. Great offensive sequence right there for #Cavs. – 7:48 PM

It’s the Donovan Mitchell Show here early for #Cavs. He has nine points in two-plus minutes. He’s also made every shot he has taken to this point. – 7:45 PM

When speaking on Nets offensive struggles last game, Jacque Vaughn said playing with pace early in the shotclock to create cross-matches is an emphasis tonight.
How do you do that?
“You gotta get stops defensively.” – 6:01 PM

Ben Simmons still not doing any team work, only individual work. Asked if it’s even feasible to get Simmons up to speed in the ten games they have left before the postseason, Jacque Vaughn says he’s not looking that far ahead. #Nets – 5:56 PM

Three of those teams (HOU, ORL, IND) are on the outside of the Play-In/Playoff picture.
One win and DET will avoid the franchise’s all-time lowest record of 16-66 from 1979-80. – 3:42 PM
