Cavs Corner, Week 24: Foot off the gas

Weekly slate: Win vs. New York (124-105); Win at San Antonio (114-113); Loss vs. Sacramento (120-113); Win vs. Chicago (135-116).

The latest: After a come-from-behind spanking of the Knicks, Cleveland nearly gave away a victory in San Antonio and suffered their second loss against the middling Kings in three weeks.

The big picture: But the top seed (and home court advantage) in the Eastern Conference is now secured after Tuesday's victory against the Bulls.

• The Cavs stars are resting and recharging before the playoffs commence later this month.

🥇 Weekly winner: Donovan Mitchell.

• He didn't suit up last night, but he averaged a LeBron-esque 27-7-7 over his previous six games, putting an exclamation point on his case for First Team All-NBA.

😔 Weekly loser: Jaylon Tyson.

• Drafted #20 overall last year, the utility knife rookie has seen less than 400 minutes of action all season.
• He's shown exhilarating glimpses, but just hasn't gotten much playing time due to the Cavs' depth and health.

💬 Quote du jour: "We're ready. We're definitely ready," Ty Jerome said of the team's playoff preparedness.

What's next: Thursday at Indiana (7pm on TNT); Friday at New York; Sunday vs. Indiana.
