The Cleveland Cavaliers are looking to get back to its winning ways Tuesday night against the LA Clippers. The Magic snapped the Cavs 16 game winning streak Sunday. Can Kenny Atkinson's squad bounce back against a Los Angeles team fighting for a playoff spot? Is Donovan Mitchell or Evan Mobley more important to the overall success of the Cavs? Plus, which players on Cleveland could you put on Akron and lead the Zips to a national title? Cleveland's franchise-best winning streak was snapped on Sunday night in Cleveland, as a cool shooting night could not get them past the Magic. The Wine & Gold shot just 25 percent from three on the night, making only 10 triples. Donovan Mitchell returned to the line-up and scored 23 on 9-28 shooting. Jarrett Allen recorded a 20-point, 12-rebound double-double in the loss. FIVE THINGS TO KNOW 1. Last Matchup: 04/07/2024 | LAC 120 - CLE 118 | P.George: 39 PTS - D.Garland: 28 PTS 2.
