Darius Garland Matches Pair Of Career Highs As Cavs Roll Past Portland
Cavaliers young star Darius Garland has done it again, this time matching two career highs in the team's latest win
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland put together a historic performance in the team's 119-113 win over the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday night. Garland matched a pair of career highs with 13 assists and eight rebounds, while also adding 25 points.
Garland's impressive performance helped the Cavaliers improve to 38-22 on the season, and they now sit fourth in the Eastern Conference standings.
The 23-year-old Garland has been one of the most impressive young players in the NBA this season, and he is averaging 20.1 points, 8.2 assists, and 4.3 rebounds per game.
Garland's performance against the Trail Blazers was particularly impressive considering that he was playing against one of the best backcourts in the NBA. Damian Lillard and Anfernee Simons combined for 52 points, but Garland was able to control the game with his passing and rebounding.
Garland's 13 assists were a game-high, and he was able to find his teammates for open shots all night long. He also grabbed eight rebounds, which was a career-high for him.
Garland's performance is a sign that he is continuing to develop into one of the best young players in the NBA. He is a dynamic scorer, passer, and rebounder, and he is a key part of the Cavaliers' success this season.
The Cavaliers will be back in action on Sunday night when they host the Memphis Grizzlies. Garland will look to continue his impressive play and help the Cavaliers get a win over one of the best teams in the Western Conference.
