Cavs Corner, Week 13: Let them cook!

Weekly slate: Win vs. Milwaukee (135-95); Win at Atlanta (116-95); Win at Orlando (126-99)

The big picture: The Cavs are the NBA's best team (a scorching 13-3) since Dec. 15. They're playing exhilarating basketball.

👏 Weekly winner: Head coach J.B. Bickerstaff. When a team hustles this hard on the defensive end, you know they've bought in. That's good coaching.

• Per Cleveland.com, Bickerstaff has motivated his team with the creation of a new defensive statistical category — the "suffocate" — which equates to three straight defensive stops.

🚫 Weekly loser: Tristan Thompson. The NBA announced Tuesday that the backup big man has been suspended 25 games without pay after testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs.

By the numbers: With his 12th straight double-double Monday, Jarrett Allen now owns the longest streak in Cavs' franchise history.

💬 Quote of the week: "Lose my number."

• Per ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, that's what Cavs GM Koby Altman is telling rival GMs who have sought Donovan Mitchell in trades.

What's next: Wednesday at Milwaukee; Friday at Milwaukee; Monday vs. L.A. Clippers.
