The league's old marketing model is faltering on the backs of aging superstars. Time to give some budding stars a chance.
Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Evan Mobley has been named the franchise’s first-ever Kia NBA Eastern Conference Defensive Player of the month for games played in December 2024, the NBA announced today.
CLEVELAND, Ohio — Last season, the Cavs often paired Donovan Mitchell with Jarrett Allen. It was a great combination. When the Cavs had an 18-1 stretch in the middle of the season while dealing with injuries, it was driven by Allen and Mitchell.
Jarrett Allen scored 25 points, Evan Mobley added 21 and the Cleveland Cavaliers ended Oklahoma City’s 15-game winning streak by beating the Thunder 129-122 in a marquee meeting between the NBA’s top two teams.
The Cavs won the marquee matchup between the league's top two teams. They believe they have the best case to be considered the NBA's top squad.
What a game that was between the Cavs and the Thunder on Wednesday night in what could be a preview of the 2025 NBA Finals.
Cleveland: In a highly anticipated matchup between the NBA's top two teams, the Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder 129-122. The win extended Cleveland's streak to 11 consecutive games and improved their league-leading record to 32-4.
Jarrett Allen collected 25 points and 12 rebounds to lift the host Cleveland Cavaliers to a 129-122 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder in a battle of the top two teams in the NBA.
Evan Mobley earned Defensive Player of the Month honors for December. No Cavs player, including LeBron James, has ever earned the award.
Evan Mobley had 34 points and 10 rebounds as the Cleveland Cavaliers ran their winning streak to nine games by beating the short-handed Dallas Mavericks 134-122.
This is a potential NBA Finals preview (Oklahoma City beat the other big threats out of the East in Boston and New York last week). It’s also a showdown of the best offense in the NBA in the Cavaliers, against the Thunder’s best defense in the league. That’s the headline for this game.
