Cavs' Shooting Sparks Deep Playoff Run

About this episode

The Cleveland Cavaliers offense is thriving this season, despite injuries and lineup changes. Guards Sam Merrill and Jaylon Tyson are leading the charge, ranking second and third in three-point shooting percentage. Their sharp shooting has been instrumental in comebacks and late surges. Fans and analysts are impressed by the teams ability to win without stars like Donovan Mitchell and James Harden. Mitchell is having his best season yet, while Harden is connecting on nearly three out of six attempts. If the Cavs can maintain this perimeter punch and improve their defense, they could make a deep playoff run.
