Donovan Mitchell was officially named an Eastern Conference All-Star starter on Thursday night, with Kenny Atkinson officially named one of the four team's coaches.

Darius Garland & Evan Mobley were not selected as starters, but based on the player & media voting, could very likely find themselves in the game too.

Could the Tennessee Titans really pass up on both QBs with the first pick in the draft and take Travis Hunter? That'd leave the Browns with their choice of QB at #2.

Could the Paul Sewald signing be the first step in a larger plan for the Guardians?

Plus, Brandon Ingram is hurt and be extremely discounted on the trade market. At a discounted price, would you be back in on the possibility of bringing Ingram to Cleveland?

The Cleveland Cavaliers are 36-7 at the top of the Eastern Conference with a five-and-a-half game lead on the Boston Celtics, but there are still areas where they can get better. Mike Lucas dives into what the team's shortcomings are and the remedy to address those concerns.

HOUSTON -- — Alperen Sengun made two free throws with 4.5 seconds left and Darius Garland missed two of three free throws after that to allow the Houston Rockets to hold on for a 109-108 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night.

Fred VanVleet had 26 points as Houston rallied late after squandering a 13-point lead in the fourth quarter.

A flagrant foul by Tari Eason on a 3-point attempt by Garland gave him three free throws with 2.1 seconds left. But he missed the first two before making the third to cut the lead to a point. The Cavaliers had a chance to win it at the buzzer, but Donovan Mitchell’s 3-point attempt was off.

Mitchell missed a shot with less than 10 seconds to go. Sengun grabbed the rebound and was fouled by Jarrett Allen to set up the winning free throws.

Houston led by 13 with about 11 minutes left before the Cavaliers used an 19-0 run to take a 104-98 lead with about four minutes to go.

VanVleet ended a Houston scoring drought of more than seven minutes with a 3 after that and tied it at 104-104 with another 3-pointer on the next possession.

Garland led the the NBA-leading Cavaliers with 26 points. They they lost on the road for just the fifth time this season.

Takeaways

Cavaliers: Cleveland missed the rebounding of Evan Mobley, who averages 8.8 rebounds a game and missed his third straight game with a calf injury. The Cavs were outrebounded 53-45.

Rockets: Must avoid scoring droughts like they had Wednesday night if they expect to keep winning games against good teams.

Key moment

Garland missing the first two of his three free throws that would have put Cleveland on top.

Key stat

The Cavaliers missed six free throws, including the two by Garland late.

Up next

The Cavaliers visit the 76ers on Friday night before hosting the Rockets on Saturday night in Houston’s next game.

The Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show is your daily source of the best conversation about the Cleveland Browns, Cleveland Guardians, Cleveland Cavaliers and Ohio State Buckeyes, as well as sports throughout Northeast Ohio. Produced by Mike Lucas, Anthony Antonelli, and Earl Mauldin. Hosted by Jay Crawford, Adam the Bull, G Bush, Jason Lloyd, and Tyvis Powell.

Darius Garland has been one of the NBA's most clutch players this season, but his two missed FT late against the Houston Rockets cost the Cleveland Cavaliers a chance at stealing the victory.

We'll break down that game & its wild ending, plus Evan Mobley's calf injury with Yahoo Sports writer Dan Titus.

Tommy Rees will address the media today for the first time as the Cleveland Browns new offensive coordinator. We'll react to whatever Rees says.

Plus, does the history of QBs drafted at #2 signal good signs or bad signs for the Browns?

Lastly, the Cleveland Guardians signed Paul Sewald to help round out its bullpen.

Cleveland Guardians legend CC Sabathia is officially headed to the a MLB Hall of Fame, but he's deciding to go into Cooperstown as a member of the Yankees and not the Indians.

With the promotion of Tommy Rees to OC, is Jalen Milroe in play for the Cleveland Browns at #2?

The Cleveland Cavaliers will face the Houston Rockets tonight. Houston poses the same problems the Cavs have struggled with against Indiana & Oklahoma City, so will we see a better answer from the Cavs?

The Suns just traded its 2031 1st round pick to Utah for 3 protected 1st round picks, opening up future options. Is there another team out there the Cavs could make a similar deal with?

Should Kenny Lofton be a Hall of Famer?

Plus, have the Browns hit rock bottom?

Ryan Day and the Ohio State Buckeyes are kings of the college football world.

The loss to Michigan is exactly what this team needed, and Will Howard's squad fired off four straight wins in the College Football Playoff, capped off by a win last night over Notre Dame, to capture the team's first National Championship since 2014.

What's Howard's draft stock after this run and should he be on the Browns radar moving forward?

Can the Cleveland Browns be the 2025 version of the Washington Commanders, who went worst to first in 2024 thanks to the stellar play of Jayden Daniels?

Plus, the Cleveland Cavaliers crushed the Phoenix Suns thanks to some incredible defense...without their best defensive player.
