It was 10 games on the night to get into Swiper. The first game that we're going to start off with is the Cleveland Cavaliers getting a 149, 128 victory over the Miami heat. The calves have been kind of iffy since the All-Star break. You know, they made the trade for James Harden. Evan Mobley had 23, Max Truceau, 29 a day. And Jared Allen came back in his return from injury. He scored 18 tonight. How you feel this one? Man, shout-outs to the Cleveland Cavaliers, man. James Harden been a problem since he got back over there.

He's been hooping. He's been good with this team. They've been flowing. That James Harden Donovan Mitchell backcourt is crazy. 14 assists is nothing to sneeze at. The fact that James Harden is still is good of an ISO player, playmaker, driver at this age as he is. He is going to be a force for them, come playoff time. Like, that's a really good duo. You know, Donald Mitchell, we had, obviously, you know, six points today, Jared Allen 18, but I think a lot of this is, you know, the heat are, they're trying to stay afloat in the standings picture when it comes to the Eastern Conference right now because the East is just like it's kind of teetering and the heat are going to make the plan but if they can

help it they would like to see they can get back up into that top six area so obviously we'll

talk about the Raptors and stuff you know later but like you know the Hawks are only two

and a half games ahead of them

right now. And so the heat are like, they're legitimately trying, but then the defense today was

just getting absolutely shredded. And some of this is that like Cleveland just got to a point in this

game where they were just seemingly on fire and they couldn't miss. And then they were just

getting the stops and timely stops when

they needed to and they were just able to pull away so but the all in all man like this is a really

good win for Cleveland they're continuing to solidify themselves in the Eastern Conference they're

clearly one of the four best teams in the conference there are two games behind the New York Knicks
