The Cleveland Cavaliers had a very intense, close game against the Minnesota Timberwolves the other day.
Unfortunately for the Cavs, they weren’t able to pull off a win and instead fell in a close 129-124 defeat.
But even though they didn’t get the W, the Cavaliers still had some great moments to be proud of.
That was definitely true for Darius Garland.

At one point in the game, Garland sped down the court, pulling up to shoot the ball, then slid back to put up a clean and smooth shot.
The moves from Garland were so fast and so eye-popping that even big man Rudy Gobert couldn’t keep up with them and was left spinning like a top.
Imagine being so quick on the floor that you cause Gobert to get flustered.
This shows how powerful Garland can be.
He was showing again and again during that game just how incredible he has become.
Garland’s Greatness
Garland’s final totals for the game against the Timberwolves were monumental: he put up 51 points.
This was an electric and incredible performance from Garland.
The second-top scorer for the Cavs was Lamar Stevens, who produced 15, followed by Kevin Love and Cedi Osman with 14 each.
It was definitely Garland’s night and he wanted to leave an impression on the Timberwolves and all the fans watching the game.
The game came in the midst of a rough patch for Cleveland, who have now lost four in a row.
It was rough to see Garland play so well and the team still fall short.
They are hoping to turn their fate around on Wednesday and snap their four-game losing streak.
However, they’ll be playing against the red-hot Milwaukee Bucks.
Can Garland have another stellar night and can his team claim a win?
