After enduring a nightmarish 2023-24 campaign, Cavaliers star guard Darius Garland has revenge on mind this season.

Darius Garland has been a revelation for the Cleveland Cavaliers this season. The Cavs have been perhaps the biggest breakout team this season, leading the league and the Eastern Conference in total wins with a 36-7 record.

The Houston Rockets barely escaped Wednesday with what may be their biggest win of the season.Houston defeated the NBA-leading Cleveland Cavaliers 109-108 after Darius Garland failed to convert two of three free throws with 2.

The Rockets hit two free throws late while the Cavaliers missed two free throws seconds later, allowing Houston to hold off Cleveland .

Darius Garland gave several reasons why the Cleveland Cavaliers should be sending four players to the All-Star Game this season.

In this episode of the Wine and Gold Talk Podcast, hosts Ethan Sands and Chris Fedor discuss the Cavs’ loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. They analyze the team’s struggles, particularly on defense, and the tactical decisions made by head coach Kenny Atkinson.

Atkinson and the Thunder's Mark Daigneault — plus one assistant from each staff — will coach the four teams in the new ASG format.

James will make his record 21st consecutive start as an All-Star and Curry, the long-time face of the Golden State Warriors, is now formally serving as host for the weekend with his 11th All-Star appearance. As of now, the Knicks are the only team with two All-Stars, despite being in third place in the East.

The Heat’s top candidate for the Feb. 16 All-Star Game, which will take place at Chase Center in San Francisco, is guard Tyler Herro. Heat center Bam Adebayo and forward Jimmy Butler (despite currently serving his second team suspension this month and pushing for a trade out of Miami) have also received All-Star consideration this season.

The Cleveland Cavs learned they have an All-Star starter. Will their wish for the other members of the core four to join Donovan Mitchell be granted?

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored a career-high 54 points to lead the Oklahoma City Thunder to a 123-114 home win over the Utah Jazz on Wednesday. Neither team led by double digits until the Thunder pulled away in the last three minutes.

Oklahoma City showed how dominant its defense can be in shutting down Cleveland last Thursday, earning some revenge for the week before (and with that win, the Thunder move back to the top of these rankings).
