CLEVELAND — The frustration continues for the Cleveland Cavaliers. They lost to the Charlotte Hornets today.
All levels are based on our typical expectations for each player.
Donovan Mitchell
17 points, 7 assists, 2 reboundss

Mitchell led the Cavaliers to victory Friday night with a heroic 46-point performance. He couldn’t muster the same energy tonight. It wasn’t a bad game for Mitchell, but the Cavaliers have needed a superhuman performance from him as of late to win. Shooting 6-24 isn’t enough.
grade: D+
Jaylen Tyson
16 points, 1 assist, 13 rebounds
Tyson was a difference-maker tonight. He had his third double-double of the season. It shouldn’t have been in vain, as he gave the Cavaliers the lead with less than 24 seconds left, but the rest was out of his control.
grade: one
Jarrett Allen
9 points, 1 assist, 3 rebounds
Allen returns tonight after missing two weeks with an injured hand. He occasionally struggled catching the ball and played just 22 minutes in a game that went into overtime. Tough.

Darius Garland
26 points, 9 assists, 2 reboundss
Garland is clearly overcoming foot pain. He limped and looked sad throughout the second half. But that didn’t stop him from leading the Cavaliers to a comeback and a temporary lead in the fourth quarter.
It was far from a perfect game, but DG scored a season-high 26 points.

Lonzo Ball
8 points, 4 assists, 5 rebounds5 steals
The ball still can’t hit the jump shot. And his point-of-attack defense is lacking. But hey, he’s doing other things. His five steals nearly put the game in Cleveland’s hands.
grade: Second
De’Andre Hunter
4 points, 0 assists, 4 rebounds
Nothing has changed for Hunter recently. He was passive on both ends of the floor.

Dean Wade
14 points, 2 assists, 8 reboundss
Wade was outstanding tonight. His rebounding kept the Cavaliers alive, and his play as a cutter helped them score some of the easiest points in the game.

Nyquawan Tomlin
7 points, 0 assists, 3 reboundss
Tomlin is simply holding back now due to inexperience. His hustle was always impactful. But he’s still prone to defensive breakdowns, making it difficult to stay on the floor for longer than he once was.

Kobe wasn’t quick enough to keep up with opponents on the outside, but he still took advantage of opportunities in the paint. He plays big, which makes up for a lot.
