Jaylon Tyson splits a pair of free throws to give the #Cavs a 128-126 lead with 12.8 left in regulation. Miami calls timeout.

This has been one remarkable November basketball game.
November 11, 2025 at 3:09 AM
#Cavs trail the Heat 101-92 after three quarters. Darius Garland has been ruled out, Kenny Atkinson has been ejected, and the Cavs were just called for 13 fouls in a quarter.

Other than that, though...
November 11, 2025 at 2:38 AM
Darius Garland will not return with a left toe injury.
November 11, 2025 at 2:29 AM
Darius Garland just went back to the locker room after that take foul. He didn't run down the floor the possession prior. It's the second time he's gone back to the locker room tonight.
November 11, 2025 at 2:18 AM
Darius is on the floor warming up prior to the start of the second half.
I heard Garland limped off. Any word?
November 11, 2025 at 2:00 AM
#Cavs trail Miami at halftime 62-53 after a disastrous close to the half. The Heat closed things out on a 20-5 run over the last 4:14. All around bad half after a promising start.
November 11, 2025 at 1:48 AM
#Cavs just had to burn a timeout trying to get the ball in on the side after a foul. They've only got four left for the final 33 minutes of this game. Given how fast Miami is intent on playing, that could be an issue.
November 11, 2025 at 1:19 AM
#Cavs lead the Heat 30-25 at the end of the first quarter. Thought the Cavs were better than their score would indicate offensively. They're just 3-of-15 on 3s so far and plenty of them have been very good looks. Miami got back into it really pushing the pace.
November 11, 2025 at 1:10 AM
Kenny Atkinson with his second timeout in 61 seconds. He looked pretty upset with Jaylon Tyson coming off the floor after that last Miami basket.
November 11, 2025 at 1:05 AM
Ball is up. #Cavs and Heat are underway here in Miami.
November 11, 2025 at 12:43 AM
Usual starters for the #Cavs tonight in Miami.

Garland, Mitchell, Hunter, Mobley and Allen.

Larry Nance Jr. is out.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are 7.5-point favorites tonight on the road against the Miami Heat.
November 10, 2025 at 1:56 PM
I didn't get to watch the #Cavs live last night, so I just rewatched the entire game and kept a running diary of all my thoughts. open.substack.com/pub/theinsid...
Rewatch Thoughts: Crazy Comeback, Transition Defense, Hunter's Crossover and More
It's always weird not watching a Cavs game live. But rewatching a Cavs game certainly beats whatever I watched the Browns do on Sunday.

#Cavs list Larry Nance Jr. (knee contusion) as questionable for tomorrow’s game.

Max Strus remains out and all other rotation players are available.
November 9, 2025 at 10:32 PM
Darius Garland (injury management) is out for the #Cavs tonight.

Dean Wade (eye contusion) is questionable.

Larry Nance Jr. is questionable with a left knee contusion.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are 8.5-point favorites tonight at home against the Chicago Bulls.

The #Cavs played with their five best players for the first time this season. In 14 minutes together, that group had a net rating of plus-54.6 in 14 minutes. Plus a small way in which Sam Merrill has made himself more effective this season as a shooter. open.substack.com/pub/theinsid...

#Cavs beat the Wizards 148-114. Yes, Washington is among the worst teams in the NBA, but this was exactly how the Cavs should look in that setting. Offense looked elite once again and the defense had strong moments. Second night of a back-to-back tomorrow against Chicago.
November 8, 2025 at 2:25 AM
#Cavs lead the Wizards 109-86 through three quarters. That's the most they've scored before the fourth quarter in a game so far this season.

Donovan Mitchell has 24 points, Darius Garland has 17 and the Cavs are one quarter away from their first NBA Cup win of the year.
November 8, 2025 at 1:54 AM
#Cavs lead the Wizards 76-59 at the half. The Wizards stink, but this is easily the most complete half of offense the Cavs have played all season. Sam Merrill and Darius Garland both have 14 points, Jarrett Allen has 12, Evan Mobley has 11.
November 8, 2025 at 1:11 AM
#Cavs lead the Wizards 39-26 after the first quarter. Offense looked very good once again for the Cavs to start here. Ball movement has been better, they're getting into the paint more frequently and it's leading to really good looks from the outside.
