Cavs: L to Pels was reminder of how Darius Garland is invaluable

It was one game, and the Cleveland Cavaliers were getting back Kevin Love (grade 2 right calf strain/reaggravation) and Larry Nance Jr. (fractured left hand) from both having been sidelined, albeit Love will be eased back in, and he played 10 minutes.

But either way, Cleveland getting blown out 116-82, and the Cavs having nine points in the third quarter was far from ideal.

And while I did like what I saw from Quinn Cook, who had 13 points and four rebounds in his first game with the Cavs during his current 10-day stint, the Cavs were missing Darius Garland in that one.
