Cleveland Cavaliers: What we learned from a dominant victory in Memphis
It wasn’t always pretty, but the Cleveland Cavaliers got back into the win column with a 112-89 win over the Memphis Grizzlies.
The Cleveland Cavaliers have now won five out of their last six games.
LeBron James led the way on the second night of a back-to-back with his eleventh triple-double of the season. He finished with 18 points, 11 assists, 14 boards, and a steal.

After struggling in their first game in Cleveland, the Cavs’ newcomers showed just how valuable they can be to this team. They combined for 57 points. George Hill bounced back after a difficult game with 18 points. Larry Nance Jr. also played well as he contributed 15 points, eight boards, two blocks, and four steals.
The Cavs didn’t look great the whole game, especially in the first half. They turned the ball over far too much and played sloppy against a team that may or may not be tanking. In the end we saw just how much the new additions can help this team when they’re fully comfortable.
Here’s what we learned from the win.
