The Cleveland Cavaliers have just completed a two-game sweep of the almighty Brooklyn Nets and their talented trio.
The Cavs have been led by Collin Sexton and Andre Drummond, who are playing wildly this season.
In fact, Sexton made history in the early stages of the NBA season.

Sexton just returned from an injury on Wednesday and did not look rusty at all. He set Nets on fire for 42 points, five boards and five assists while doing 16-29 on the field in Cavs’ double thriller OT in his first game back. The former Alabama star lost 20 points in overtime alone.

Sexton followed that performance with 25 points on 8-19 on the field and 9 assists in another 12-point victory for the Cavs over Brooklyn.
Defense duo Darius Garland and Sexton – nicknamed Sexland by some – have only played a few games this season, and Garland returned on Friday night.
What is most impressive about Sexton’s record is the fact that he is the first in the team’s history to do so. This means that Kyrie Irving, Kevin Love and LeBron James – among others – have failed to do so.
The third-year pro is throwing 53 percent off the field and 50 percent beyond the hoop for Friday’s game, and Cleveland is off an impressive 8-7 record in a year that many thought they would. rebuild.
Cavs are young, exciting and exciting to watch. They made a bold statement by defeating a powerful Nets team in two consecutive games.
If Sexton continues to play at this level, it will be difficult to leave him out of the Eastern Conference All-Stars list, and it will be even more difficult to count the Cavs as a potential playoff team in the Eastern Conference.
