Paul George is looking forward to this upcoming trip testing the Clippers. He says there won’t be a night off playing six playoff level teams at Atlanta, Cleveland, Chicago, Milwaukee, Knicks and Nets. PG says the Clippers never fractured or chirped at one another during slump. – 1:40 AM

The #Cavs two birthday cakes in the locker room — one for Darius Garland and one for Isaac Okoro — were completely melted and gross by the time the team left. Jarrett Allen looked at them, considered it briefly and then shook his head. But, hey, it’s the thought that counts. – 11:17 PM

After shootaround this morning I asked #Cavs Darius Garland how he wanted to celebrate his 23rd birthday. He didn’t even hesitate. He told me, “Hopefully with a win. It’s all that matters.”

All-Star weekend will be a celebration of LeBron James, who will arrive in Salt Lake City as the NBA’s all-time leading scorer but it’ll be nice to see Donovan Mitchell returning to his old home as a starter from a playoff upstart in Cleveland that happens to be James’s old team. – 11:06 PM

Kyrie Irving being named an East All-Star starter is going to hurt #Cavs Darius Garland’s chances at being a reserve. Irving would’ve been one of the fringe reserves. – 7:35 PM

Rockets are saying Tate will miss tonight’s game due to right ankle injury management, so it’s possible the plan was for him to sit this game all along, but Gordon has been playing back-to-backs and he is out due to right knee soreness, so this appears to be an unexpected miss – 2:43 PM
