The Cleveland Cavaliers keep rolling along despite playing without two of their five starters until February. On Saturday night, the Cavs made it seven straight wins in a blowout victory over the Hawks on the road, 116-95. Donovan Mitchell led a balanced attack with 18 points to go along with six rebounds and eight assists. Reserve guard Sam Merrill had 18 points as well including five 3-point field goals in the game. The team keeps rolling along despite the losses of starting point guard Darius Garland and starting forward Eric Mobley Jr.
“At that point in time, you've got a decision to make: You quit or you fight,” said Cavs coach J.B. Bickerstaff. “And I never expected this group of guys to quit. The fight came and the results have been what they've been.”
