Cavs Corner, Week 6: Back at ya, Boston

Weekly slate: Loss vs. Atlanta (135-124); Loss at Atlanta (117-101); Win vs. Boston (115-111); Win vs. Washington (118-87)

State of play: The second of two consecutive losses to the surging Hawks was an NBA Cup game, meaning the Cavs won't advance past group play.

• The victory against the Celtics, though, reaffirmed Cleveland as one of the East's top two teams.

🚙 Weekly winner: Georges Niang.

• The G-Wagon's engines are always purring. Niang was the only Cavalier to appear in all 82 games last season, and only he and Jarrett Allen have appeared in every game so far this season.
• He was 3-3 from long range against the Celtics, and hit two critical free throws in the game's final seconds.

🍌 Weekly loser: Caris LeVert.

• LeVert has been rusty since returning from injury, committing five turnovers in the Boston game and going 3-7 from the foul line against Washington.

What's next: Thursday vs. Denver; Saturday at Charlotte; Sunday at Miami.
