Cavs Corner, Week 11: Clash of the Titans

Why it matters: Tonight they face off in a nationally televised broadcast that has the NBA world aflutter.

• Supercharged offense, stifling defense, telegenic superstars. The game will have it all, and could be a preview of this year's NBA Finals.

Record: (31-4); Last week: (29-4)

Weekly slate: Win at Dallas (134-122); Win vs. Charlotte (115-105)

The big picture: The Cavs' cushion atop the Eastern Conference continues to grow as No. 2 Boston has gone 5-5 in its last 10 games.

⭐️ Weekly winner: Kenny Atkinson, who just won his second consecutive coach of the month award for leading the Cavs to a 12-1 record in December.

• In Cavs history, only Mike Brown has won the award in back-to-back months.

🤷🏻‍♂️ Weekly loser: Rookie Jaylon Tyson, through no fault of his own. The team is just too good for him to earn regular rotation minutes.

• Tyson has played in garbage time in seven of the last eight games, but has failed to score in his last four outings.

What's next: Tonight vs. Oklahoma City (7pm on ESPN); tomorrow vs. Toronto; Sunday vs. Indiana; Tuesday at Indiana
