#Cavs Darius Garland on why Evan Mobley should be DPOY: “One personal foul tonight. That’s good. He doesn’t hack. He doesn’t scream at the refs. He goes and blocks shots. His deflection numbers are through the roof. He guards one through five. I mean, what doesn’t he do? I mean, – 10:49 PM

Darius Garland just hit back-to-back 3-pointers to put the #Cavs up by 23 with 5:10 left. He’s got 28 points on 10-of-16 shooting. A much needed performance from him. – 9:00 PM

#Cavs lead the Bulls 98-85 after three quarters. Very sloppy third quarter for Cleveland. They had six turnovers in the quarter that led to 11 points for Chicago. Game is probably closer than it should be at this point.
Good news is Ty Jerome and Darius Garland have both looked – 8:44 PM

Ty Jerome has been really really good so far tonight. This shouldn’t come as any surprise given how he’s stepped up this year in games without Mitchell or Garland, but he’s doing it again. – 7:42 PM

More on this storyline
“I thought we were going to be pretty good,” says Garland. “I thought we were definitely going to be better than we were last year, especially since we didn’t play a lot of games together last year. A lot of people were in and out the lineup with injuries and other personal reasons. I knew this year we were going to come in hands-on and really ready to go from the jump and that’s what we did.” -via Basketball Insiders / April 6, 2025
Darius Garland attributes the team’s growth from a good team into an elite one due to their “camaraderie.” It is the third consecutive season that the quartet of Garland, Donovan Mitchell, Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley have teamed up together. ”I think our camaraderie is just really taking us over the top right now,” Garland told Basketball Insiders in an exclusive interview. “We’ve been around each other for about two-to-three years now, so we have some years under our belt. We’re really familiar with each other on and off the floor, which makes it a lot easier, especially because we bond off the floor so much.” -via Basketball Insiders / April 6, 2025
“We just have so much, and our depth is insane as well,” says Garland. “We can really go 15 deep if we really needed to. Ty Jerome probably playing the best of his career, hopefully Sixth Man of the Year. Adding DeAndre Hunter, one of his best friends at the trade deadline really puts us over the top and gives us a long defender that can really shoot the ball and really create for himself,” Garland continues to say. “It really helps us a lot. Those are a couple things that I really think that’s going to take us over the top.” -via Basketball Insiders / April 6, 2025
