The Cleveland Cavaliers didn’t have their best defensive player on Saturday night. Evan Mobley missed the game with the Minnesota Timberwolves because of a calf injury, which would pose major trouble against Julius Randle.
The unsung hero of Cleveland's victory was Georges Niang, who put together his best game of the season on both ends of the floor. The veteran forward finished the game with 15 points and 10 rebounds while shooting 71 percent (5-for-7) from the floor.
