#Cavs Evan Mobley is out of his walking boot. Team will leave for their three-game road trip tomorrow. But a source said the belief is Mobley’s return is further away than Donovan Mitchell. – 11:32 PM

Frank Vogel said the Suns liked what Drew Eubanks was doing in the fourth quarter, citing the coverages on Darius Garland providing mobility over that closing stretch. They were ready to go back to Jusuf Nurkic late if needed, so it sounds like it was not injury or rest related. – 11:20 PM

“We were ready to go back to (Jusuf Nurkic) late, but Drew (Eubanks) was giving us great activity. The (Darius) Garland coverages are really tough. He’s so shifty. We liked what Drew was doing with his mobility.”

37 for Kevin Durant tonight in the Suns win at Cleveland tonight.
He’ll take the floor at TD Garden Thursday 52 points shy of Shaquille O’Neal for 8th on the NBA’s all-time scoring list.

Defensively, giving up 41 points to this version of the Cavs is bad. Offensively, 5 turnovers for 7 Cavs points is holding the Suns back despite shooting 59% as a team – 8:05 PM

Aside from Dean Wade going nuts in the fourth quarter against the Celtics I think that first quarter was the best the #Cavs offense has looked since Donovan Mitchell exited the lineup. – 8:03 PM
