The Cavs are rolling thanks in large part to Garland's play, but the East — and Cleveland's — backcourt is a crowded one.

CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - Darius Garland, an All-Star back in 2022, said Thursday that the Cavs should have 4 All-Stars this season. Garland appeared on the show “Run it Back” on YouTube and FanDuel TV. Garland, 24, is averaging 21 points, 6 assists and 30 minutes per game.

With the Cavaliers down two points, Darius Garland, their potential All-Star guard and 90 percent free-throw shooter, sat alone at the line with the chance to give Cleveland the lead. Even if he failed to make all three free throws, Cleveland, via a Flagrant One on the Rockets, would have the ball with a chance to seal the game.

Darius Garland is a 90% free throw shooter. That did not matter Wednesday night. The Cleveland point guard had a chance to give his Cavaliers the lead at the free throw line with 2.1 seconds remaining against the Houston Rockets.

Garland now has made 803 and counting three-pointers during his first six seasons with the Cavaliers. DG still has a long way to continue moving up this list, though. Kevin Love is in second place with 1,096 three-pointers, and LeBron James leads the way with 1,251.

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.

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.

Cleveland missed two key free throws in the final seconds of its 109-108 defeat to Houston on Wednesday night.

The Cavaliers still had a chance for the win because of the flagrant foul. They retained possession and set up an inbounds play for a Donovan Mitchell game-winning attempt from the corner. But Amen Thompson got a hand in Mitchell's face, and his shot was well off-target.

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?
