CLE: Cavs single out reserve as playoff-ready ‘beacon’ in in any other case darkish lossChris Fedor, cleveland.com
“Jaylon (Tyson) was the beacon tonight,” Atkinson stated. “That’s how you need to play. He was prepared for the struggle. He was prepared for the physicality. He was prepared for the sport. I highlighted him after the sport. I stated, ‘That’s what we would have liked throughout the board, and we didn’t get it.’”
Tyson completed with 23 factors, 15 rebounds, one steal and one block in half-hour.
He introduced toughness, coronary heart, hustle, vigor and energy — every part he pointed to as problematic earlier this month when he chastised the staff in a postgame press convention. He personifies these traits — ones which might be too regularly lacking from the Cavaliers’ portfolio.
