Random dribbles from the Cavaliers’ 124-116 home win over the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday. … 1. For a long time, this was a dogfight. Maybe a little disappointing when you consider how the Spurs are limping toward the finish line.

The Cleveland Cavaliers entered their home matchup against the San Antonio Spurs knowing they’d be shorthanded.Evan Mobley, a key anchor on both ends of the floor, was out, leaving a significant gap in the frontcourt.

This meant Jarrett Allen had big shoes to fill with Evan Mobley out against the San Antonio Spurs. A 29-point, 15-rebound performance from Allen is as good as it gets. The Spurs didn’t know what hit them.
