At the rate Darius Garland was scoring he likely could have played four more quarters. The 2022 All-Star picked up right where he left off the preceding season with a sizzling performance against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Garland came up with a steal on the defensive end and beat the second-quarter buzzer with a straightaway 3-pointer despite being flanked by multiple defenders. And he was far from finished, registering the first 50-point game of the 2022-23 season with a career-high 51 — 27 of which came in the final period — while also converting a personal-best 10 triples. Garland added six rebounds and two steals on November 13, 2022, becoming the fourth player in franchise history to score at least 50 in a game. Garland shot a career-best 41 percent from downtown in his fourth season while leading the Cavs to their first playoff berth since 2019 and most wins in a season since 2017. · Nov 13, 2022
