It was a close encounter between two determined sides, but in the end, it was a Andre Drummond assist to Isaac Okoro that sealed the win for the Cavs.</p><p>With the Cavs up one and the shot clock turned off, Drummond summoned his inner point guard skills to dish out a tremendous dime to a wide-open Okoro, who finished the play with a two-handed slam (h/t NBA on <a href="https://twitter.com/NBA/status/1347381872624619522">Twitter</a>):</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Andre Drummond sets up Isaac Okoro for the <a href="https://twitter.com/cavs?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">@cavs</a> game-sealing slam. <a href="https://t.co/rjbpdxYQjo" target="_blank">pic.twitter.com/rjbpdxYQjo</a></p><p>— NBA (@NBA) <a href="https://twitter.com/NBA/status/1347381872624619522?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">January 8, 2021</a></p></blockquote><p></p></figure><p>Here’s another angle of the game-winning play:</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">🗣 OKORO CALLED GAME! <a href="https://t.co/VdgxJ04fV7" target="_blank">pic.twitter.com/VdgxJ04fV7</a></p><p>— Cleveland Cavaliers (@cavs) <a href="https://twitter.com/cavs/status/1347382801943953410?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">January 8, 2021</a></p></blockquote><p></p></figure><p>Drummond was outstanding in this one, leading the Cavs with a game-high 22 points on 9-of-20 shooting, to go along with 15 rebounds, three assists, and two steals in 37 minutes of play. The big man did commit six turnovers, though, which is a bit of a sour spot to his otherwise noteworthy play.</p><p>For his part, Okoro got another start on Thursday, and the fifth overall pick of the 2020 NBA Draft finished with eight points, two boards, two dimes, a steal, and a couple of blocks in 39 minutes of action. It appears that the 19-year-old has now fully recovered from the <a href="http://cavsnation.com/cavs-news-isaac-okoro-dealing-foot-sprain/">ankle issue</a> he was dealing with earlier in the season.</p><p>Cleveland’s win over Memphis lifts them to 5-4 on the season, as they continue to impress early in the campaign. The Cavs return to action on Saturday in a tough matchup against Giannis Antetokunmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Okoro made his NBA debut in their opening game against the Charlotte Hornets where he recorded 11 points, three rebounds, and five assists in 33 minutes played. The Cavaliers ultimately turned out to be the better team as they defeated the Hornets on a 121-114 victory for their first win of the season.</p><p>Despite having a respectable debut performance, Okoro failed to get his game going in their second tilt against the Detroit Pistons. He didn’t sink a basket on four attempts from the field and only tallied three rebounds and a steal in 41 minutes of action. Behind stellar performances from Collin Sexton and Andre Drummond, the Cavs still managed to run away with the 128-119 victory for a 2-0 record.</p><p>Okoro eventually missed their next five games where Cleveland finished on a 2-3 record in the stretch. The rookie’s return will provide a boost for the team as both Darius Garland and Dante Exum are expected to remain on the sidelines in the foreseeable future due to their respective injuries.</p><p>The Cavs will aim to grab their fifth win of the season as they head into the second game of a back-to-back against the Magic on Wednesday.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
