The Cleveland Cavaliers keep winning basketball games.
It doesn’t matter how they win games, as they seem to have a different formula every night, but this team has continued their quest to be the best in the league.
Their depth alone makes them a tough out in any game, and when their stars are playing well, this team turns into even more of a powerhouse.
One of their top players, Evan Mobley, had an especially positive game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, which was a highly-anticipated matchup.
Mobley finished the game with 21 points, 10 rebounds, and seven assists, all while going 8/13 from the field.

Mobley isn’t always called upon to be a big-time scorer, especially with Darius Garland and Donovan Mitchell on the floor.
However, with Mitchell not putting his best shooting performance together in this game, Mobley needed to step up in a big way in that respect, which he did.
Depth is important in any sport, especially in basketball, and the Cavaliers have an overwhelming amount of depth.
This allows players like Mobley to get much-needed rest, knowing he’s leaving the court in good hands with the people behind him on the depth chart.
More rest usually equals better play, and that was on full display during this game.
The Thunder were slated to be a tough opponent for the Cavaliers, but when the rubber hit the road, they were able to bear down and beat them, thanks to players like Mobley.
Can this team maintain this pace for the rest of the season, continuing to take down the best teams in the league?
