Cavs 109, Nets 104 Brooklyn is outscored 31-18 in the fourth quarter. They shot 6/19 (32%) from the field and 3/13 (23%) from three in the final frame. Darius Garland scores 18

Despite last offseason’s speculation that Darius Garland and the Cavs might part ways following their second-round playoff loss to Boston, that was never a serious option—for either side.

At one point in his career, before a miserable season temporarily wrecked his reputation, Darius Garland was known as “Mr. Fourth Quarter.” That nickname is fitting once again. Garland, who grew up revering Stephen Curry and Damian Lillard — two other late-game assassins — has been one of the league’s best players in clutch situations this season.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland had been searching for his shot for weeks. Ever since taking a hard fall against the New York Knicks, the Cavs guard has struggled, averaging just 16.7 points on 34.
