In Cleveland they announced that they wanted to see Ricky Rubio of the Spanish team and he has transferred the message to the track. In his second start of the course, Masnou’s point guard brought out all his basketball to lead the Cavaliers with 23 points, 8 assists and 6 rebounds, a performance that helped the Ohioans defeat Atlanta 101-95 and achieve their first win of the 2021-22 season.
The Cavs won, but it wasn’t easy. The Hawks started better and in the second quarter they achieved an income of up to 13 points. Nate McMillan’s boys seemed to be on the right track, but after the break they suffered a short circuit that triggered the end of the film. In four minutes they went from dominating 52-55 to being 67-55 down. They tried to react… Cleveland wouldn’t allow it. Supported by the organization of Ricky Rubio and his inner strength, they did not give their rival a choice.
Because the point guard was good, but Evan Mobley was not behind him. The rookie had 17 points, 11 rebounds and 4 blocks in 35 minutes, a performance that heralds a great future for Ohio and that stood outJB Bickerstaff, who understands that the role of the rookie has been earned by himself.

McMillan asks the defense for more
The Hawks didn’t have their best night. Trae Young went up to 24 points, but his 1 of 6 on 3s was a sign of the erratic performance of the Georgia team. Clint Capela had a double-double of 10 points and 14 rebounds, and Cam Reddish contributed 19 points from the bench. There were lights and shadows, and in such a scenario Nate McMillan believes that they failed to stop their rival in decisive moments.
“They worked harder than us and were an aggressive team during the second half. We were not able to stop some of their attacks, so we could not transition out as we needed, ”explains the head coach.
Love, adjusting to her new role
Kevin Love has moved on to the second unit. After more than a decade as a starter, the five-time All-Star is living a new context to which he seems to be acclimating. After scoring only 10 points in his first two games with a 3 of 14 shooting from the field, last night he had 12 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists in 24 minutes. His coach is very satisfied with what he has seen. Kevin knows who he is and what is important to us. He played to win.
