Fresh from a dramatic victory, Cleveland Cavaliers will seem to strengthen its lead at the Eastern Conference on Friday when they travel to face the sudden debauchery wizards of Washington.
Cleveland won his fifth match in six attempts on Wednesday, as the 31-foot 3-meter 3-foot Darius Garland gave the Cavaliers a 118-115 road victory over Detroit pistons. Just a week after being appointed to his second All-Star game, Garland has Cleveland with a pace for his second most victories in franchise history.
“It was amazing. We created a game and he ignored the play and went and made a play, “said Cavaliers coach Kenny Atkinson about Garland’s heroic. “That’s what great players do. They make big plays. “
Garland finished with 25 points and an average of 21.8 points and 6.8 assists for the season. The 25-year-old is one of the three All-Stars of Cleveland, as Evan Mobli and Donovan Mitchell will join Garland for the event of a San Francisco showcase on February 16, along with Atkinson as the head coach of the Eastern Conference.
In what Atkinson described as “the performance of All-Star”, Mobli added 30 points, nine rebounds and seven assists in Wednesday’s victory. Mobley is the average of the best of the career 18.3 points per game to go with nine fights. Mitchell, who leads the team with 23.8 PPG, missed only his third game of the season on Wednesday, sitting with a right arm injury. It is referred to as Friday.
As the best and most NBA records are confronted, Cleveland will strive to win its 12 straight game against Washington -a series that began in February 2022.
Against the backdrop of another terrible season, Wizards were successful in February, winning their first three games of the month after 16-mummy for a losing series until January. Even more impressive, the three Washington wins are on the road, improving their record away from home to 4-21.
On Wednesday, wizards ended with 40 assists for a season to defeat Brooklyn Nets 119-102, holding the nets to only 12 points in the third quarter.
In the otherwise weaker season for Washington, the game of the rising star of the second year Bilal Kulibali was exhibited, including on Wednesday, when he recorded his first triple double with 11 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds.
“It all starts with his activity and his bounce,” Wizards coach Brian Keyff said for Kulibali. “Some of these things are in the transition, so everything is tied together. But it all comes from his protection and his ability to remove the ball from the board and press. He did great with finding boys (Wednesday). “
Coulibaly will accompany the teammates of rookie Alex Sar and Bub Carrington during the All-Star Weekend, with the trio selected to compete in Rising Stars Challenge.
Adding the very necessary veteran piece to its list, Washington trades for three-time All-Star Khris Middleton on Wednesday, acquiring 33-year-old from Milwaukee Bucks-Login with rookie AJ Jhnson and 2028 Kyle Kuzma (15.2 PPG), Patrick Baldwin Jr. and the first round selection in 2025.
Middleton is an average of 12.6 points per game this season, his lowest 2013-14. The small ahead, however, exceeded 20 points in three of his last four games and could provide an addition to Wizards lead scorer Jordan Pool (20.3).
