Cavs Top 3: Isaac Okoro puts on his hero tights in win over the Brooklyn Nets

The Cleveland Cavaliers pulled off a huge comeback against the Brooklyn Nets.

The Cleveland Cavaliers closed out an exciting night of basketball on Thursday, as the Cavs rallied back late in the fourth, to get the 116-114 win over the Brooklyn Nets. The Nets and Cavs traded shots back and forth all night, culminating in a final sequence for the Cavs that saw Donovan Mitchell on the free-throw line with a chance to tie it. A missed second free throw and an eventual kick out to Isaac Okoro would see the young perimeter player nail the game-winning shot.

This was easily Okoro’s biggest career highlight so far and capped off a night where he scored 11 points, nine of which were from behind the three-point line. His heroics capped off a huge win that helped the Cavs move to 17-7 over their last 24 games. The Cavs are now 47-28 and are days away from clinching their first official playoff birth without LeBron James on the roster since the 1997-1998 season.

Okoro’s big night wasn’t the only one worth pointing out, as Evan Mobley continues his ascent to superstar status with a huge night against the Nets as well. He pulled off a double-double and was huge defensively against the Nets, registering four blocks.

Jarrett Allen also had a double-double, while Darius Garland posted a +15 BPM. All while Caris LeVert and Cedi Osman combined for 20 points off the bench. This win was truly a team effort for the Cavs.
