Really great win for us. Now we KNOW that we can beat Cleveland, and we did it handily without needing Kyrie heroics to do it.
It is amazing how much more energized we look defensively now that we've had some rest and practice time. The last several games we've looked more like the 16 win streak team than the team the rest of the season.
Also, Morris really, really helps us, even if it doesn't show up in the box score.
Minus Kevin Love and Isaiah Thomas.
Yeah, because Love was tearing it up in his 21 minutes before sitting down (his 1-11 came when he was mostly fine). I am pretty sure him not playing the rest of the game was actually a benefit for the Cavs.
As for IT - well, we were without Hayward. That is more than a fair swap.
Great, easy win for the Cs. I know it's one they 'should have' won, but it's still great to get a win against your biggest rival.
