In this story:

After an incredibly disappointing performance against the Miami Heat on Wednesday, the ClevelandCavaliers really came out swinging the next game on Friday night.

A whole lot of offense was going Cleveland's way. The Cavs scored 40 points in all but the third quarter in their last game against the Heat. Max Strus was the leading force on the offense with 29 points and eight three pointers.

Last season, Strus had only two games where he had more than 20 points. This season, he has played less than 10 games and has done it twice.

Being up by as much as 36 against Miami, this was being done without Donovan Mitchell in the offense. Mitchell finished the game with only six points.

Coming off of this major win, the Cavaliers make the trip to Utah to take on the Jazz. The last time these two faced off, the Jazz were able to get a major upset win over the Cavs.

Tonight, the Cavaliers should be looking for some sort of revenge against Utah, but they will have to do it with a chunk of players on the injury report.
