How does anyone stop the Cleveland Cavaliers? Without three key players — Donovan Mitchell, De'Andre Hunter, and Ty Jerome — in their game against the Brooklyn Nets on March 11, the Cavaliers fell behind by 18 points. But they recovered, as they have done most of this National Basketball Association (NBA) season, behind the defensive efforts of Jarrett Allen and kept their winning streak alive.

MEMPHIS — How does anyone stop the Cleveland Cavaliers? Without three key players — Donovan Mitchell, De'Andre Hunter, and Ty Jerome — in their game against the Brooklyn Nets on March 11, the Cavaliers fell behind by 18 points. But they recovered, as they have done most of this National Basketball Association (NBA) season, behind the defensive efforts of Jarrett Allen and kept their winning streak alive.
When Cleveland visits the Memphis Grizzlies at FedExForum on March 14 (March 15, Singapore time), they will be attempting to win their 16th straight game, a victory that would set the franchise record for consecutive wins.
The Cavaliers won 15 to start the season and have matched it by not losing since Feb. 4.
