No answer for Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns so far
Halftime in Cleveland: Knicks 63, Cavs 53, and the story is Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns combining for 38. Brunson is getting anywhere he wants and Towns is punishing the smaller lineups. Is there an adjustment that fixes this in the second half, or is the defense just short-handed until Jarrett Allen is back?

Meleek Thomas is not scared of the moment
Meleek Thomas got the start tonight and looks like he belongs. The rookie has 9 points and 3 made threes at halftime against the Knicks, the most confident shooting performance on the roster so far. Starting him looked like a gamble a week ago. Now it looks obvious.

Riley Minix wasting no time
Riley Minix signed a two-way contract this afternoon, then checked in against the Knicks and immediately drained a three. He leads the team by 8 points and shot perfectly at halftime. With Jaylon Tyson, Sam Merrill, and Jarrett Allen all out, the Cavs needed someone to step up, and the new guy answered. Can he play his way into a real rotation look?

Tristan Thompson's homecoming in his own words
Tristan Thompson kept it simple tonight: there is no place like home. He spent a decade in Cleveland and was the heartbeat of the 2016 title team, and you can tell this weekend means something to him. Where does he rank among the most beloved role players in franchise history?

Tonight's starting five against the Knicks
Starters are out for the Knicks game: James Harden, Donovan Mitchell, Meleek Thomas, Peyton Watson and Evan Mobley. Thomas getting the start is the one that jumps out, the rookie keeps earning trust, and Mobley slides to the five with Jarrett Allen still out. How does this group match up with New York's size?

Tonight is the first 10th Anniversary Celebration game
The Knicks game tonight doubles as the first of three 10th Anniversary Celebration games for the 2016 title, and the team shared a video of former GM David Griffin revisiting the moments that made history. Here in Cleveland, when given a choice, we will always choose the harder path. Still gives you chills.

Meleek Thomas on sharing the court with LeBron
Meleek Thomas on playing against LeBron James last night: one of my all-time favorites, so I have always learned from him. Sharing the court with him was special. The rookie grew up watching LeBron, then held his own as the Cavs rolled to a 119-95 win. Moments like this are what a rookie year is for.

The 10th anniversary championship collection
The team shop just dropped a limited-edition 10th anniversary collection for the 2016 title, on the same night Tristan Thompson is back in the building with the Knicks. Between this, the theme nights, and TT, the nostalgia is flowing this weekend.Anyone grabbing a piece of the collection?https://x.com/CavsTeamShop/status/2119217736379207798

Game day: Knicks at Cavs on a back-to-back
Second night of a back-to-back after that 119-95 win over the Sixers. Jarrett Allen, Sam Merrill, and Jaylon Tyson are out, and the Knicks are missing Josh Hart. Jalen Brunson just dropped 33 on Wednesday, so the defense has its hands full. Tip is at 8. Do the Cavs keep last night's energy, or does the schedule catch up with them? Treat this as the game thread.

Riley Minix is back on a two-way
The Cavs announced they have signed Riley Minix to a two-way contract, just days after waiving him to open a slot for Norchad Omier. Minix put up 19.3 points and 6.7 rebounds a game for the Charge last season and keeps finding his way back to this organization.Roster gymnastics, or do they genuinely see something in him?https://x.com/cavs/status/2119208941280522514

Embiid went 0-of-9 from the field last night
Joel Embiid went scoreless from the field, with all 6 of his points at the line, and Cleveland did it without Jarrett Allen. Evan Mobley held the five, and Peyton Watson was everywhere, helping down low. Can this frontcourt defense hold up until Allen gets back?

The Cavs finally fixed the slow start problem
After two losses to OKC where early holes buried them, the Cavs opened last night on a 15-0 run and never let the Sixers breathe. Real adjustment, or just a Philly team that came out flat?

Peyton Watson’s return changed the whole game last night
Peyton Watson returned from the hamstring injury and went plus-22 with 9 boards while holding Maxey to 5-for-15. Same Tyrese Maxey who dropped 32 on Cleveland back in October. What are your thoughts on Watson's impact so far this season?

Mobley’s three-point leap is becoming a real thing
Quietly, Mobley is 20-of-39 from deep through nine games and went 3-of-4 last night while holding down the five with Allen out. Perkins went on TV saying the offense should run through him. Are we watching him take the leap this season?

LeBron’s return to Cleveland fell completely flat
All that buildup for LeBron’s first game back at Rocket Arena as a Sixer and the Cavs just cruised 119-95. LeBron had 8 points and 6 turnovers, Embiid missed all nine of his shots, and Mitchell and Mobley ran the show. Statement win or just a bad Sixers night?https://roundtable.io/sports/nba/cavaliers/news/cavaliers-cruise-past-76ers-119-95-behind-donovan-mitchell-evan-mobley
