On Monday, the Cleveland Cavaliers challenged the Golden State Warriors in a battle of two young teams trying to hone an identity.
Just before the end of the first half, Jarrett Allen, the Cavs’ big man, got heavily polluted, and he sparked a bit of anger for teammate Collin Sexton.

Allen was acquired from the Brooklyn Nets in the multi-team mega-trade that sent superstar James Harden to Brooklyn. Allen has continued his solid game since moving to Northeast Ohio.
Meanwhile, Sexton also continued his own star game, although his numbers slowed down a bit.
After a promising start, the Cavs cooled down considerably. They are currently in the midst of a losing streak of seven games, having just lost on Sunday against a Los Angeles Clippers team that was without Kawhi Leonard and Paul George.
