The Cleveland Cavaliers secured another victory in the NBA last night, defeating the Dallas Mavericks at home with a score of 127-117.
Mario Hezonja delivered a stellar performance for the home team, undoubtedly playing his best game since returning to the league. Cleveland was shorthanded in this match, as James Harden, Donovan Mitchell, Jarrett Allen, among others, were not playing, giving other players more opportunity. One of those players was Hezonja, who started for Cleveland.

The Croatian spent 34 minutes on the court and shot 9 of 12 from the field, including 2 of 2 from three-point range and 2 of 2 from the free-throw line. Along with seven rebounds and four assists, he had only two turnovers.
Hezonja fully took advantage of the opportunity given to him after a few subpar performances, showing Kenny Atkinson that he can be fully relied upon.
Additionally, in the Cavaliers‘ triumph, Tyrese Proctor shone with a triple-double, recording 24 points, 11 rebounds, and ten assists.
