Evan Mobley isn’t just the NBA’s best defender—he’s elevating his game, transforming the Cavaliers, and making a compelling case for MVP.

Cavs beat the Grizzlies 133-124 to win their 16th consecutive game, setting a franchise record for the longest winning streak. Mobley led them with 22 points, Garland had 20 and Hunter had 18 off the bench.

The Cavaliers are also going along with the trend, taking Evan Mobley's apparent nickname of "The Predicament" and running with it. A predicament is defined as "a difficult, perplexing or trying situation," which describes what other players go through when trying to score on Mobley.
