Nice glimpse of the #Cavs future. Donovan Mitchell drives the lane and fires to Darius Garland in the corner for a smooth 3. – 7:44 PM

Hawks look like a team that lost shooting and got younger and more athletic. Could be a really strong rebounding team. – 7:42 PM

1Q: Hawks 24, Cavs 19
Hawks held the Cavs to 28.6% shooting from the floor and did a good job of forcing them to take shots from outside. Cavs are 2-of-12 from 3 (16.7%). – 7:38 PM

Hawks’ Trae Young 1-for-8 FG in the first quarter, 1-for-4 from deep, as #Cavs trail 24-19. Isaac Okoro 10 points, Donovan Mitchell 5 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist for #Cavs. – 7:38 PM

#Cavs are down 24-19 after the first quarter. After a decent start, Donovan Mitchell finished the quarter cold. He’s 2-of-8 from the floor and has missed a pair of 3s. – 7:37 PM

Trae Young playing tonight like the first half of the play-in tournament game. (We won’t talk about the second half of that play-in game tho). – 7:35 PM

Unsure of what the minutes will look like for the three starters that are playing tonight, but Mitchell just checked back in for his second stint and Garland just checks out. Curious if Mitchell leads the bench unit again. – 7:31 PM

#Cavs Isaac Okoro making sure his bid for the starting 3 spot is foremost in J.B. Bickerstaff’s mind. Okoro cans consecutive 3s, has 10 points in 8 minutes on 4-of-5 shooting, 2-of-3 from long range, and a steal. – 7:27 PM

Two back-to-back 3s from #Cavs Isaac Okoro right there. He has an early 10 points here in the first quarter.
If you missed this recently, check out this piece on Okoro’s offensive growth this summer

Isaac Okoro has hit a pair of threes so far tonight on three attempts. He only hesitated on one of them and the shot looks better than it did last year. Something that’s crucial to the #Cavs offensively when he’s on the floor. – 7:26 PM

Robin Lopez just had his hook shot partially blocked, which I wasn’t sure if we would see happen all year long. – 7:25 PM

Darius Garland with a pretty nice defensive possession there against Trae Young. Deflected a pass that led to #Cavs points the other way. The energy level in the first quarter seems to be better tonight than it was on Monday. – 7:17 PM

#Cavs coach J.B. Bickerstaff, while he praised Caris LeVert, was not ready to name him the starting 3 in the regular season. Bickerstaff also reserved the right to change depending on things play out if LeVert starts in the season opener on Oct. 19 at Toronto. – 6:28 PM

#Cavs Caris LeVert will not play in tonight’s game, sources tell @clevelanddotcom. The idea is to give LeVert a day off while also allowing some other guys to play. With LeVert OUT, Isaac Okoro will start at small forward, I’m told. – 5:53 PM
