Cleveland Cavaliers vs Atlanta Hawks LIVE Stream Game Audio | NBA LIVE Streamcast & Chat
[Music] controlled by the Cavaliers as they go left to right. We’re underway at State Farm Arena. Of course, we’ve got another cranberry colored floor. Now, the Hawks have been eliminated as far as any sort of advancement into the knockout round. Mitchell in the lane went up with the shot. Drew the foul and so Donovan Mitchell very early will be shooting two. Tim, I don’t have a problem with Donovan going uh going and and attacking the paint. And as you know and our fans know, he sets the tone for how we want to play. And Kenny said something that as far as our field goal percentage, we just have to take better shots. You know, you got to take better shots. That that’s a decision by the player in the motion of shooting. Is this a good shot or not? And you don’t want to keep settling for threes just because you’re open. You want to be able to make those shots. Donovan had a monster game against Atlanta back at Rocket Arena when the Cavs won 117 to 109. He went off for 37 points and five assists. Sinks those two free throws. Cavs with the early two to nothing lead as Atlanta going right to left heads to the other end. Johnson swings it on the left side to Reese. Reese outside the three-point arc being harassed by Mitchell. got it out front to Okongu who’s passing the lane deflected by Garland down the floor to Donovan Mitchell. Mitchell on the left side comes around Dyson Daniels came up and under got his shot blocked and it’s saved in by Dyson Daniels. And as Jim said, Atlanta will run to the other end. Three ball right side. Alexander Walker missed it. Rebound DeAndre Hunter ahead to Mitchell. Mitchell one-on-one on Alexander Walker draws that foul. And that’s the way you do it, Jim. You want to control pace, get the defensive rebound, and teams that run don’t like to be run against because fatigue doubles. And Donovan Mitchell knows that. And he was out on the break. Tim Donovan Mitchell at the free throw line this year, 83%. Just about where he is on his career at 84%. First one up and good. He’s now three for three. And the Cavaliers have a three to nothing lead. Cavs coming in at 12 and seven. Hawks 11 and eight. Donovan Mitchell. Lion right spins that basketball. Lets it fly. Swiss on the second. So four for four for Donovan Mitchell early on. One minute off the first quarter clock and the Cavaliers are up four zip. Here’s Alexander Walker. Came over from Minnesota this summer to the Hawks. Gives it to a Congru. Aongu on the feed back to Aongu in the left corner. He’s got an open for three. In and out tipped up but missed by Alexander Walker and out of there with it. Come the Cavaliers. Garland on the left side hesitates feeds right corner to Hunter. Three ball bounced around the rim and in. They call it shooters touch, but there’s Garland again, Tim. That dribble penetration. Deavs jump out to a seven to nothing lead. Atlanta to the other end. Here’s Jaylen Johnson. feeds it to Dyson Daniels and his pass goes out of bounds as he overshot Reese in that right corner and the Cavaliier defense is swarming in the paint. Tim, 7 nothing Cavs. Garland crosses the halfourt line out front to Moy. Mobley at the free throw line into the paint, fakes left, turns right, shoots, hung it on the rim and it’s short.

Quickly to DeAndre Hunter. Hunter on the right sideline. Bounced to Allen. Bobbled it. Got it back in the lane. gets tied up and we’ll have a jump ball as Jared Allen tried to spin to the bucket and instead we’ll have a jump ball between Jared Allen and Onaka Okongu. You got to put those elbows out. Anytime in the paint, you’ve got to protect the ball. Jared Allen against Okongu. Free throw line down below us. Ball knocked around a few times and it finally comes back to Okongu ahead to Dyson Daniels. Daniels into the paint. Had his pass deflected but is grabbed by Okongu and the Hawks are on the board as Okongu popped it in. Timok three minutes to get on the board. That’s pretty good Cavs defense. Donovan Mitchell out front, works to the left side. Mitchell gave it to Garland. Comes up, comes under, throws it out front to nobody except Jaylen Johnson. Johnson on the drive against Moley. Johnson feeds underneath. shot but up no but Alexander Walker got fouled by DeAndre Hunter and that’ll put Alexander Walker at the free throw line. Hey, tonight’s small business highlight is Onyx Construction, a nationwide industrial contractor delivering precision, power, and performance from capital projects to maintenance. Built to last, built to lead. First free throw on the mark. Alexander Walker. Tim, I saw a curious stat about this Hawks team and how much better they play without Trey Young. They’re averaging 118 points without Trey Young. They’re shooting 50% from the field without Trey Young and 38% for three-pointers. And they lead the league in assists. They do. They’re number one in the league. And it’s a different offense without Trey as the lob goes into Allen down low. He was being held on to as they’ll get that foul on Okongu. That’ll be his first. And but you’re right, it’s a totally different style of offense. It is. They’re able to pick the pace up. The one plus about Trey Young is that under pressure, Jim, he can be clutch. Mitchell got it into Garland. this pass into the corner to Hunter. Hunter lost it. Got it back. Unloads. Got it from the left wing. We’ll take it. I don’t know how he did it, Tim. He didn’t get a foul. DeAndre Hunter swishes the jumper. Nine to four. Cavs by five. 825 to go. First quarter in Atlanta. Cavs and Hawks for the second time this year.

[Music] by shallow traars [Music] away. Love I’ve been traded twice. I never came back and hugged my coach because they were glad I was gone. No video tribute for you. No, no, no video tribute. Moy lobbed down low to Allen. Turns and popped it home. Jared Allen with his first two points in the ball game. I like a little high low action. Mo to Jarrett. 11 to 11 again. Cavaliers with points off a timeout. Seems to happen every time. Lonzo ball in the game for the Cavaliers as Jaylen Johnson on the handoff out front to Reese. Reese into the paint. His pass deflected and the aforementioned DeAndre Hunter has it for the Cavs ahead to Mobley. Gave it right back to Hunter. Hunter to the baseline cut off and his pass deflected and stolen. Dyson Daniels had the deflection. Here comes Alexander Walker for Atlanta. 6 and 1 half to go in the quarter. Walker into Allen high off the glass and good. Heck of a shot by Walker.

His three spun out. Rebound grabbed by Oneka. Okangu. Hawks by two with the ball. They get it down the floor left of the lane. Mobly blocked the shot out of bounds as Alexander Walker took it into the tall timber and he got it swatted. And we talk about that rotating defense. Mobly is the key there, Tim. Jaylen Tyson had a good chat with Jaylen before shootound came to a conclusion today. I know Mike Snder ran some of that during the pregame. Just an engaging young man. Jaylen now in the game for the Cavs as Mohamd Gay has checked in for Atlanta. And out front, Nquille Alexander Walker buries a three. Make it 16 to 11. He’s a shooter. averages just under 19 per game. Cavs down five. Hunter left corner to ball. His three. Nope. Rebound tracked down in the corner by Alexander Walker. Feeds it ahead to Daniels.

Garland walks the ball into the fourth court. Lob in the lane to Allen. Left corner to Tyson. Three ball. No. Boy Cavs can’t buy a bucket from downtown. The rebound snagged by Reese.

And here comes Alexander Walker to the other end. Feeds right side. Reach. His three. No rebound grabbed by Ball. Long pass ahead to Garland. Garland fakes the three left of the lane. Banks scores. I like this up and down pace, Tim. I love it. And Garland likes it, too. Cavs back to within six at 21-5. Hawks with the basketball going right to left. 410 to go in the quarter. Here’s Dyson Daniels over his shoulder left side to Gay. Gay left the lane. Pulls up and hits. Ruin Gay’s come off the bench. Two quick field goals for four points.

Gave it to Gay. Gay. They bounce it down low and Gay driving got fouled as Gay had gave it to Okangu. Right back to Gay and Mohamed Gay will shoot two after he got decked by Dean Wade. Tim, they keep you busy, don’t they? They pass the ball. This passing and cutting. Every time someone passes, they cut. And when you’re cutting to the basket, especially off an offensive rebound where your defense is scattered a little, advantage offense. Jim, you alluded to the fact they lead the league in assists per game at 30.5. That’s number one in the league. Gay hit the first. How about seven points off the bench for Mohamed Gay? Just 5.9. Huge. Gay shooting one more line left and that one rolled around the rim and inch. So Gay makes it a 31-20 Hawk advantage with 144 to go here in the first quarter. Cavs don’t look rested. They look rusty. Having not played since Monday. Donovan Mitchell top of the key to Moy. Moy against the Congu. Mobley into the lane. Put it up. Missed it. Rebound. A Congu.

Donovan now walking to the Cavaliier bench as timeout was called. Atlanta now with a 33-20 lead with 28.8 to go here in the second quarter of play. Hey, the Cavaliers Community Foundation in partnership with Huntington Bank and Donovan Mitchell’s Spite of Cares will award 10 $10,000 scholarships this season. Apply at cabavs.com. apply at cavs.com.education. Deadline is February 6th. And again, they’ll take a look at Donovan Mitchell as he took that nasty fall. It’ll be Cavaliier basketball 33- 20. They’re down 13 to Atlanta with 28.8 to go here in the first quarter. And when you can’t make shots, you’ve got to sprint back on defense and match up immediately. This is the formula the the the Hawks used on us last year, Tim, when they really ran us over. But the Cavaliers are smart enough. Kenny’s working those matchups, putting in the right people at the right time. Let’s see if we can catch him in the next quarter. Cavan running it all the way down. There’s about a 4second differential. Garland out front to Moy. Evan with a three. Good. Evan Mobley, his 283 ball of the year. His first points of the ball game. The Cavs to within 10 at 3323. Well, let’s catch him in that next quarter. Let’s hold him right here. Atlanta will be able to run it all the way down. Katon Wallace now in the game for the Hawks. Secondyear player. 8 seconds on the clock. Alexander Walker against Jaylen Tyson. Walker out front. Cr with a three in and out. Rebound knocked away and that will end the first quarter of play. Cavs down 10 at the end of one. 3323 Hawks lead it. And we’ll take a timeout on the medical mutual Cavaliers. Sorry. Afraid of what we [Music] want to release it. Want to release it. [Music] Heat. [Music] Heat. [Music] and that 10-point lead. Here’s Luke Canard in the paint. Got it out front to Dyson Daniels. Daniels fires in the right corner to Gay. His three. No rebound. DeAndre Hunter. Larry Nance on the floor for the Cavaliers. Well, a couple of former Hawks now on the floor. Mobley had his shot blocked by Gay, but Mowgli got it back right side to ball. Lonzo ball beats Hunter. Hunter pow. Oh my. Lonzo Hunter just posterized. Mohamd Gay and then Gay shoves Hunter down at the half court line. And that’s going to cost him too. And all the time while he dunked the ball, he was talking to him. I like what Hunter’s doing. Let’s put some fire in the game because that’s what the Cavs need right now, Tim. They need a spark. DeAndre Hunter big time with a thunderous dunk. And then Mohamad Gay just pushed Hunter down at the half court line as the two teams were running to the other end. And so our crew chief Tony Brothers along with Trey Maddox and Matt Meyers are going to talk about this. And now Tony Brothers will make his way over to the scorers table. The ruling on the floor is a double foul. The play has been red reviewed to see if it’s potentially flavored. A double f. How did they come up with a double foul? That’s that took some creativity. He dunks the ball. He’s both players are jawing at each other. Tim, they get in there midcourt and uh he just pushes him down. Oh, he hit him. He hit him with a forearm in the neck. Yep. Yeah. I have no idea how you can call that a double foul. Look at that. That’s a punch as we watch it on the replay again. Hunter with just a monstrous slam on Gay right at the rim. And then, well, Gay pushed him after the dunk. I didn’t even see the first one. So Gay pushed him twice. He pushed him after the dunk and then as they were running down the floor, Gay gave him a forearm shiver right in the neck as Jim described it. So there were two different instances of Mohamd Gay with a physical push of DeAndre Hunter. And Tim, I don’t know how they could call this a double foul. This is this is crazy. This kid initiated both of the second one near midcourt. You could really say he threw a punch at him and Hunter got sent to the deck. I mean, it knocked him down. Hunter’s a better man than Jim Jones because we’d still be fighting at midcourt. I’d pick him up, throw him on his head. What are you What are you, Joe Turkey Jones? What are you doing? Bouncing somebody off their head. if you know uh but but really the word would have gotten around but uh those were two cheap shots. Now come on Tony let’s see what brothers has got to say. Here we go Tony Brothers after review we have a double foul on the play and a technical foul on more game. Cleveland will shoot one shot. Atlanta will get the ball on the side with 24 seconds on the 24sec shot clock. A double foul. That’s interesting. That really is. Well, hey, let’s tell you about tonight. Sherwin Williams, Shershot promotion contestant as tonight, Martin Balish from Columbia Station is the contestant. Now, Martin, you know the rules that the Cavs take and make the final shot of the first half. If that final shot of the second quarter is a made field goal by the Cavs, if it’s a two-point field goal, Martin, you’re going to win two tickets to a future Cavs game. If that final shot is a made three by the Cavs, you will win $1,000. Well, Donovan Mitchell hit the free throw, but boy, I think the Cavs got the short end of that ball. No question about it, Tim. He initiated both punches. The second one was definitely a punch. So, it’s called a double foul and then the technical on Gay. Cavs within seven at 3326. Hawks with the basketball. Mitchell knocked it out of bounds off the hands. They’re going to say of Donovan Mitchell. Donovan thought it went off Crerache. Donovan pleading his case to Matt Meyers, but Atlanta will inbound the basketball. Tyson Daniels, left side torch. Quickly out front to Okongu. Okongu against Mobly. Okongu spins, hooks, missed. Ball tapped out front, tracked down by Daniels. Top side torch. Crree feeds it to Okongu. Okongu on the weave to Canard. He’s got a three, but he tricked that boy. Another loose ball, but Mitchell tracks it down. Fires it ahead to Ball. Ball bobbled it. Got it back. Throws it near the half court line. And Moly, did he get it? No, he did not. Tony Brothers right at the half court line. Said you hadn’t landed yet in the front court. Cavs don’t appear to be arguing that. So, no. No, there’s no argument right there, Tim. But I am concerned about the defensive rebounds. Playing good initial defense, the Cavs are, but they’re not getting the rebounds. Hawks ball. They’re up by seven with 10 and a half to go here in the second quarter. Okongru hands it off to Canard. Canard against Lonzo Ball. Canard traveled with it. Yeah, he’s he’s not used to dribbling. Put a little too much hippity in the hippity hop. And so that’ll give it back to the Cavaliers. Yeah, cuz Canard’s the G Canard’s game is a catch and shoot Tim and he’s all left-handed. He’s all left-handed. Faithful Donovan Mitchell met by Daniels at the halfourt line. Mitchell works to the left side. Mitchell left of the lane. No look right side to Tomlin. His three. Got it. Naquan Tomlin right off the bench. It’s a three ball right in front of Quinn Snider. And the Cavs are back to within four at 3329. Tim, every time he comes into the game, he’s a spark. Here’s Daniels into the paint. Feeds left side to Canard. His three. Nope. Offensive rebound. Daniels out front torch. Fakes the three. Shoots the three. Missed it. And then Moy couldn’t handle the rebound as he lost it out of bounds. Yeah, there was no one around him. That ball is precious. Nine to nothing run for the Cavaliers to get to within four at 3329. Hawks had their biggest lead of the game at 33-20. Cavaliers have shaved it down. 945 to go. Deflection by Tomlin. Canard got it back. Gave it off to Okongu on the handoff to Daniels. Daniels Euro steps in the lane. Floats. Missed. Rebound grabbed by Evan Mobley. Cavs down four. Here’s Mobley into the paint on a Congoo. Feeds it out front. Mitchell his three. Bullseye.

Rebound Larry Nance Jr. gave it to Naquan Tomlin. Tomlin feeds it behind him to DeAndre Hunter. Hunter right of the key into the paint. Hunter left corner. Dean Wade back out front to Donovan Mitchell. Mitchell with 10 on the clock. Drive, scoop, scored. Cavs lead. Donovan Mitchell still in attack mode. Tim taking it to the rim. Cavs have scored 14 straight. They’re up 3433. 848 to go here in the first half. Tyson Daniels into the paint. Wade knocked it away and then it went out of bounds off Dean’s foot. Good hands by Wade. Tim, trying to stay in front. You just got to stay in front of that offensive player, especially if he’s driving. Make it more difficult for him. Don’t forget Mike Snider’s coming up at the half. The McDonald’s halftime report. Mike will recap the first two quarters. Have a look at NBA Cup scenarios. Cavs need to win tonight. And if they can win by a big margin, that would help. Trying to get into that knockout round via the wild card. Canard out front had his pass kicked away. So it’ll be Atlanta ball 14 to shoot. The Cavs up 3433 after trailing by 13 points. Atlanta will get Alexander Walker back in the game. Hey, score big with Cavs Rewards now. Create an account and start earning points to redeem exclusive rewards.

Timeout Hawks on the Medical Mutual Cavaliers audio verse. [Music] [Music] [Music] Heat. Hey, Heat. [Music] [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] [Music] [Music] Hey, [Music] hey, hey. have cut us to four. Daniels in the paint goes off the glass and hit it. Oh my goodness, that ball was couple of feet above the square. 109 103. Garland back in for the Cavs. Garland got bumped out front by Canard. No whistle. Garland changing hands into the lane. Floats. Left it short. Got it back. Garland got it blocked. Gave it to Wade. Right side to Tyson. Back out front to DG. DG behind him to Moy. Mobley. Five on the clock. Moy with a three. Short rebound. Comes off to Tyson Daniels. Ahead to Crerachche. He’s ahead of the pack and he’s got a dunk. Yeah, Moley never circled around to the middle of the floor and Atinson has seen enough. Timeout Cavaliers. One of the Cavs added down to four. Four quick points by Atlanta. leads back to eight. 111 103 timeout Cavs with 808 to go. We’ll take a break on the medical mutual Cavaliers. All we got. [Music] We got that love. We got that young love that don’t love. We got We got We got We got that. We got Kiss me and the world disappears. things that I want to hear. I just want to stay right here. You push me out, but I come back. Keep tellad [Music] [Music] love. We got that fun love. We got that young love. We got that love. We got that love. We got that love. We got that young love. We got down. We got young love. We got that young love. We got that young love. That young love. We got that young love. That young love. We need [Music] [Music] year at the holiday season. That’s a good idea. Jaylen Tyson throws it in to DeAndre Hunter. Cavs need to make their push right now. And it’s got to be with some stops, too, Tim. They’ve got to get some stops. Mobly top of the key. Moley against a Congu. Threw it up. No, Okongu knocked him down. Okangu, he got hit as well. But it’ll be Evan Mobley heading to the free throw line shooting two with 756 to go. So Evan Mobley 12-point ball game. First trip to the charity stripe. And now Quinn Snyder says, “I want to challenge this. This will be a close one too, Tim. Mobley with that outstretched hand held Okongu back a little bit. And of course, those two young men know each other very, very well. As Jim said, a AAU teammates ruling on the floor. A defensive foul has been called on Atlanta. The play has been challenged by Atlanta as Tony Brothers with the explanation. But on Okangu and Evan Mobley played together at the AAOU level. And then of course both went to USC. Evan Mobley was the third pick in the draft out of USC in 2021. Ona Okongu was the sixth pick in the draft the year before in 2020. And when everybody’s healthy, Okongu comes off the bench and is one of the better bench players in our league. And you can see why. He can make shots now and he’s always been an aggressive defender. But the Cavs have given themselves a chance. They’re close enough if they get two or three stops and just make some twos, just make some shots. Make it interesting coming down the stretch when you’ve got a closer like Donovan Mitchell who’s sitting on the side getting a few minutes resting Cavaliers in NBA Cup action. They need to win number one and right now down eight. On the drive to the basket, the defensive player makes contact prior to the hook. Therefore, the challenge is unsuccessful. It’ll be a defensive foul. Thank you, Tony. There will be two shots and Atlanta will lose their ability to challenge the rest of the game and they lose their timeout. It’ll be Moy shooting two with 756 to go. But again, the Cavs need to win. And what would make it even better, although I don’t know now, but they they needed to win by a large margin. And with eight minutes to go and down by eight, the opportunity for that is dwindling. But Cavaliers also needed a couple other things to happen. Now, if the Cavs were to lose, people say, “Well, then what happens? You don’t make that that knockout round.” The NBA will schedule two additional games the week of December 8th as Mobly misses the first free throw. Those two additional games, you know, that baby bounced in. As as reckless as that shot looked Oh, it did go in. Yeah, I I glanced down at my score sheet. I know because I looked down and I thought it was off to the left, but it bounced in just like that one. And so did that one. So Moy, they weren’t perfect, but they both went in. Makes it 111 105. But just to finish that up, Cavaliers will play two games the week of December 8th if they don’t make the knockout round. And it will be against opponents who like the Cavs are not in the knockout round and who the Cavs only play three times this year. Cring the lane with a runner that went in and out. Rebound Moley. Cavs down six. Seven and a half to go. Hunter out front. Three ball. Nope. Rebound. Tomlin was on the back of Luke Canard. And the foul will be on Naquan Tomlin. and he had the right idea trying to get a second shot. That’ll get Allen and Mitchell back in for the Cavaliers. You know, SeatGeek is the official ticketing partner of the Cavs. Now, whether buying or selling tickets to Cavs games or any live event in the land, SeatGeek is the place to do it. Well, here we go. 7:25 left in this ball game. And Kenny Atkinson says, “We’re going to put that starting five on the floor.” Garland, Mitchell, Hunter along with Mobley and Allen. Right of the lane. Alexander Walker’s pass deflected. Allen has it. Shovels it behind him to Garland. Right wing to Mitchell. Mitchell bolts up. Shoots. No rebound. Mobley. Heavy traffic. Pow. And a foul to go with it. Evan Mobley. That was a man’s rebound and that’s what they needed. Second shot opportunities, but Moy ran the floor, Tim, and made himself available and had great position underneath. And a rim recorder dunk. Cavs within four. Make it three as Evan Mobley hits the free throw. Putting a little more urgency in their play. 111 108. 7 minutes to go. Cavs making their move on the left side. Risha on the handoff to Jaylen Johnson. Johnson top of the three-point arc. Right to the lane. Cut off by Moley in the corner. Alexander Walker with a three that missed. Rebound. Donovan Mitchell. Got it to Moy. Ball got knocked out of Mobly’s hands. Right back to Mitchell. Cavs down three. Donovan in between the circles. Mitchell around a Mobly screen. 12 on the shot clock. 6 and 12 to go. Mitchell against Johnson. Mitchell double team lob out front to Hunter left side to Garland. Garland into the lane. Finger rolled it up and in. And the Cavaliers are within one. I like the poise. The defense got more aggressive and the Cavs kept their poise and made the shot. 111 110. Johnson left of the lane. Jaylen Johnson got it out front. Alexander Walker back to Johnson. His three way off. Nothing but oxygen as it rolls out of bounds. And it was a contested shot by Big Moley. The defense has stepped up. Cavaliers on a seven to nothing run. They’re within one and the Cavaliers can take the lead on this possession. Garland into Mitchell. Right back to DG. Into the fourourt comes Darius Garland. Garland in the center circle to the left wing. Bounce to Moy. Right corner. Mitchell three ball perfect and the Cavaliers lead it on the Mitchell bomb. He’s got 3713 to 111. Cavs by two with 540 to go in the lane. Jaylen Johnson blocked by Mobley. Holy moly. What a play by Evan. Making that extra effort. It’s closing time. Cavs to the other end and Tony Tony Brothers will call an offensive foul on Evan Mobley. Keep your focus. You’ve got to stay focused. Cavs on a run and this run is beautiful to watch. They’re doing it at both ends of the floor. Donovan who had 37 against the Hawks in the first game. 37 tonight in Atlanta. Cavs by two as they have stormed all the way back. Hawks with the basketball. Alexander Walker got it out front to Dyson Daniels. Daniels spinning on Hunter in the lane. Put it up in and out. Rebound grabbed by Hunter. Cavs by two with the ball as we hit the fiveminute mark of the fourth quarter. Garland looking. DG tosses it to Moy. Right back to Garland at the half court line. DG left of the lane. DG looking out front to Hunter. Hunter right at the lane. Drives missed. Rebound grabbed by Jaylen Johnson for Atlanta down to Florida to Okongu. Put it up. Rolled it in on Moley and a foul to go with it. And I agree with Moy. He walked him. Mobbley had great position and he traveled and walked right in front of the officials. That’s how can you let that go? And we have the benefit of replay. Oh my goodness. Well, the foul will be called on Moley, his second. It’ll put Onaangu at the line in a 113 113 game. Okangu out. Rebound Mo. Evans having a night on the board. Yeah, he’s getting it done. He’s getting it done. 113 113 4 and a half left in Atlanta. Garland on a hesitation dribble left of the lane. Hits the brakes. Got it out front to Moy. His three ball good. Now I think they called it a No, they give him the three. Tony Brothers had put the twopoint shot up. Mobly hits the three. Cavs up 116 113. Evans got a 20 piece. Alexander Walker left side to Reese Shay down the sideline to Dyson Daniels. Daniels against Hunter. Daniels into the paint. Got it out front. Okangu with a three. No. Tipped up and it’s spun around the rim and in for Jaylen Johnson. You got to get the rebound. Excellent defense, Tim, until the ball went up. Cavs by one. 116 115. 345 on the clock. Garland. His pass deflected and then out of there with it Tyson Daniels fouronone. They get it to Reese and he’s got a dunk. Cavs turned it over. Atlanta ran the floor. 117 116. Hawks by one. Donovan Mitchell walking the ball through the center circle. Spinning left of the lane. Pulls up. Shoots. Missed it. Rebound. Jaylen Johnson for Atlanta. quickly to Alexander Walker. He’ll drive on Mobley. Put it up with a left hand and bank it in. Fox have answered. They have definitely answered. 119 116. Keep your poise, Cavs. Cavs down three with three minutes to go. Garland left of the key, left of the lane. Garland traveled as he slipped down. Boy, how many times on these NBA Cup floors do we see guys just lose their footing? And Tim Garland is limping a little bit cuz it was on that left foot when he slipped. Three-point lead for the Hawks. 119 116 with 250 to go. Hold here. Come on, Cavs. Hold here. Jaylen Johnson right of the key. Backing down. Garland poked it away, but it came back to Johnson. Put it up. No, but a foul will be called. Garland almost created that turnover. It’ll be Hawk free throws. You know, the Cavs take on Portland Wednesday night at Rocket Arena. You need to head to cavs.com/tick to secure seats. So, it’ll be Jaylen Johnson shooting two with 238 to go. Hawks have indeed responded as Jaylen Johnson hits the first. And the way they’ve responded, Tim, is off of Cavaliers turnovers. And many of those turnovers were forced turnovers by the Hawks defense. But the Cavs still have plenty of time to turn this thing around, and I know they will. I just feel good about where they’re at. Down, down five. Atlanta has scored eight straight to take a five-point lead. 121 116. Donovan Mitchell out front to Moy. Swings it in the right corner to Hunter. Drives how with a thunderous dunk with the right hand. Stay with it. Come on, Cass. 121 118. Hunter now has a 16-point gain. Johnson in the lane. Got it partially blocked by Hunter, but they’ll call the foul on DeAndre Hunter. Yeah, we heard it way up here that Jaylen Johnson is 6’9. He puts it on the floor like a 63 player can get almost any shot he wants. He’s a talent. Jaylen Johnson now with his 10th double double of the year. He’s got a 26 point, 10 assist, nine rebound game. He’s within one rebound of the triple double as he hits that first free throw. Johnson’s had two double doubles against the Cavs. First game he had a 23 and 13. Outstanding talent. Gets that second free throw. 28 for Johnson. Again, the Cavs are down five at 123 to 118. Here’s Donovan Mitchell. He’s got 37 tonight. Mitchell left wing three. He’s got 40 as he buries the three ball. He knows what time it is. It’s closing time, Donovan. Now, let’s get some stops. 123 121. Johnson to the lane. Looking looking. Got it out front. Alexander Walker with a three. No. Rebound knocked off the backboard. Deflected to Garland. Left side. Mitchell. Mitchell in traffic. Put it up. rolled it home and the game is tied. Donovan with 42. Cavs have responded. They’ve tied this game at 123 with a minute and a half to go. Right side, Alexander Walker with a three. No, they got a foul on BG. And it’ll be Nquille Alexander Walker shooting three with 124 to go. Toughest thing to do in our league is to close out on a three-point shot. Why? Because even if you get there, Tim, those guys will hold that hand up there until it makes contact. Kenny Atkinson says, “Hold everything. We’re going to challenge this.” Why not? Cavs are going to challenge the foul on Garland on the three ball. Really on the floor is a defensive foul on Cleveland. The play has been challenged by Cleveland. So, as they take a look at the replay in Sukakus, we’ll take a wildcard timeout. Wildcard break. 124 to go. We’re tied at 123. Cavs challenging. Back after this after the wild card timeout on the medical mutual Cavaliers audio verse. At Rocket, we believe everyone deserves it. Holdight changes. Hold chang. The ball was loose after DG got a piece of the hand as you heard Tony Brothers explain it. Handto-h hand contact. That’s not a foul. So there will be a jump ball in the center circle. Jared Allen and Ona Okangu. 123 123 with 124 to play here in Atlanta. Tremendous challenge by the Cavaliers. So they retain that timeout. Cavs with two remaining. Atlanta also with two timeouts left. And the ball gets sent to the back court and it will be Alexander Walker. Boy, and now Kenny Atkinson’s furious about the jump ball. Left of the lane. Jaylen Johnson in the left corner to Rhysay. He buries a three ball. Wow. Biggest shot of the game. Biggest shot of the game right there. Reys makes it 126 123. Here’s Donovan Mitchell out front against Dyson Daniels. Mitchell straightaway three ball off the back of the rim. No good. Rebound grabbed by Jaylen Johnson. Under a minute to go. Left wing Alexander Walker with a three. Got it. And the Cavs are down six. Backto back three balls by Atlanta on successive possessions. One by Reese, that one by Alexander Walker and it’s 129 123. And there was no hesitation on that Tim and they were looking to get out in open space. And where is open space? running the sidelines where the defense is falling back to the middle of the floor. They didn’t protect the sidelines, the short corner and then the wing, which is the next step up from the short corner, which really is the toughest three to make, but Alexander made that like it was nothing. Cavaliers have their work cut out for them now. Down six, 129 123 with 47.7 to play here in the fourth quarter. You know, the Cavs and Serpro are excited to shine a light on our local heroes.

Well, this has been a ball game that has just gone back and forth at a rapid fire pace as these two teams have traded punches here at State Farm Arena. Cavaliers needing a win to advance to the knockout round as a wild card, but Atlanta has gone toeto toe in this ball game. Here’s Lonzo Ball far side as Ball has checked in. Ball looking, got it into Mitchell. Mitchell with a three. No, no whistle. Rebound grabbed by Jaylen Johnson and he got fouled in the back court. Looked like a foul on that Donovan force up shot. Tim got all body and looked like maybe a little bit of his elbow, but no call was made. It was Tony Brothers on that side of the floor. We’ll have free throws at the other end. So right now we’ll pause for station identification on the medical mutual Cavaliers audio verse news talk sport just hits that first free throw. He’s got 29 points, 12 assists, 11 rebounds. Jaylen Johnson, 20th pick in the draft back in 2021 out of Duke. Very special player. Leads up to seven. 41.4 to go. Jaylen Johnson get it out on the second rebound to Flax. out of bounds and it went off the leg of Reese. So, a seven-point lead for the Hawks, but the Cavs are down to 38.9 to go. Quick shot, quick shot, quick shot. Lonzo ball lobs it ahead to Moy. Mobley on the handoff to Mitchell. Back in the corner to Moy. His three. No rebound grabbed by Dyson Daniels. Daniels in the back court. A reachin foul will be called on Donovan Mitchell. And this one isn’t looking good for the Cavaliers. They had the lead in the fourth quarter, but give Atlanta credit. They stormed back. And Atlanta in this fourth quarter of play has hit some key shots. Backto back three balls by Reese and the second one by Alexander Walker were the two that really did the damage. And they were done early in the clock. Forced turnovers, pushing it down the floor. A set offense for them. Tyson Daniels misses that first free throw. Cavs home Sunday. They’ll be taking on Boston. That’ll be a 6:00 tip on Sunday. And then another Sunday Monday backto back. We had that with the Clippers and Toronto this week. Well, Sunday against the Celtics. on the plane will go and head to Indiana. Both free throws missed. Gav still down seven. Mitchell straightaway three. No rebound grabbed by Jaylen Johnson. So Johnson adds to his triple double and Atlanta is going to run out the clock. Hawks are going to win this one 130 to 123. So, the two teams have split the first two matchups with two more to come in April. Atlanta with the win now 12-8. They’re 4-4 at home. Cavaliers also 12-8 on the year. And their road record is now 4 and5. And the Cavaliers won’t be heading to that knockout round. And for the third straight year, the Cavaliers are eliminated in group play. as far as NBA Cup action is concerned. And so the Cavaliers will play two games the week of December 8th against two opponents that also will not reach the knockout round. And it will be against two opponents that the Cavs have only scheduled three games during the regular season. So they’ll add a fourth game. For example, I’m not saying this is who they will play. I’m just saying for example, they have Brooklyn on the schedule three times. Could be Brooklyn, could be Washington, could be Boston, who we’ll see on Sunday. So again, it’ll be two more games the week of December 8th. And for the Cavaliers, third straight season of not making the knockout round in NBA Cup action. Well, Jim, before we turn things over to Mike Snder and Brad Sers, final thoughts on this one tonight in Atlanta. Well, I like what I saw with that group that had only played together three times. Uh they did some outstanding things on both ends of the floor to get themselves back in this game in the fourth, but down the stretch, Tim, they look like they got a little wore out. And Donovan, uh maybe sometimes we ask too much of him and he couldn’t be Superman tonight, but let’s get let’s don’t take anything from the Hawks. They made big baskets when they needed it and you and you called it. They were three-pointers. Cavaliers with the loss 12 and 8. We’ll head back to Cleveland tonight and get ready for a back-to-back Sunday Monday. Boston’s in town on Sunday and we’ll head to Indie on Monday. But that’s going to do it from State Farm Arena. Again, the final Atlanta knocks off the Cavaliers 130 to 123.
