Georges Niang Spotlights Garland and Mitchell’s Contributions
Star players Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland display remarkable talent on the court. As a result of their efforts, the Cavaliers are at the top of the Eastern Conference standings. The team is on a four-game winning streak following their recent triumph over the Hornets. Furthermore, their teammate Georges Niang commended them during an interview on the “Run It Back” podcast on FanDuel TV.
“Not every guy is gonna be a 20 point scorer and then kind of fixing the dynamic between Donovan and Darius. Not saying that there was ever, like, an issue, but, obviously, like, making sure that, you know, they can continue to play off each other and help this team go as far as it can.” Niang said.
