The Cleveland Cavs' core four had been healthy for the vast majority of this season, but Darius Garland sat out Sunday. Kenny Atkinson gave an update.

In a fiery and spirited game between two of the NBA’s best teams, the short-handed Cavs held off the Memphis Grizzlies, 129-123. Cleveland has won seven straight games while Memphis has lost three of the last four.

Garland, a two-time NBA All-Star, is having an incredible season to help lead Cleveland to the one-seed in the East. Garland is averaging 21.3 points, 6.7 assists, and 1.2 steals per game with impressive 49.3/42.5/87.1 shooting splits.
