The team's scoring has been consistent across quarters, with an especially strong showing in the third quarter against the Pacers where they racked up 36 points. However, in their subsequent game against the Rockets, despite scoring 103 points and maintaining a high free throw percentage of 85 percent, they fell short as Houston took control with a lead that reached up to 27 points.


Cleveland's ability to dominate in paint was evident in both games; however, turnovers have been an area for improvement as they recorded double-digit turnovers which led to significant points off turnovers for their opponents.
