The Cleveland Cavaliers have just ten games remaining in the regular season, with the start of the playoffs less than four weeks away. Despite missing center Jarrett Allen, guard Craig Porter Jr. and guard Jaylon Tyson, coach Kenny Atkinson criticized the team's defense in a 136-131 win over the Magic. He warned that the team would have a short playoff stint if they continued to slip defensively. Atkinson acknowledged the defensive issue, citing Evan Mobley, who was named Defensive Player of the Year, and Keon Ellis as key defenders. The Cavaliers host the Heat on March 25 and March 27, and are hoping to see Allen play in both games. James Harden, acquired from the Clippers, has been a key player for the team, averaging 20.9 points and 7.8 assists with them.
