We made it - finally. The last game of this 6-game, 5-city, 10-day of here, and it comes in the form of the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday night up in Wisconsin.

The shorthanded Cavs scrapped and clawed all night against the equally shorthanded Grizzlies on Thursday. That fight paid off with a big time win in Memphis behind a double-double from Andre Drummond, a perfect shooting night from Larry Nance Jr., and Isaac Okoro's late-game heroics.

Cavs: Cedi Osman, Isaac Okoro, Andre Drummond

Bucks: Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jrue Holiday, Khris Middleton

In the second night of a back-to-back, the Cavs will travel to Tennessee to play the Memphis Grizzlies. Both squads will look to get back on the winning side of the ledger on Thursday.

Cleveland fell to Orlando for the second game in a row. The Wine &amp; Gold led for much of the first quarter-and-a-half, but the Magic proved to be too much in the second half. Collin Sexton extended his 20-point game streak to eight and Andre Drummond did the same with yet another double-double.

It is the second game of a brief two game set between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Orlando Magic down in Florida. This is the teams second and final meeting with each other in the first half of the season.

The Cavs fell to the Magic on Monday night after Orlando exploded out of the halftime gate for a big third quarter. Andre Drummond, however, did notch a seventh consecutive double-double to start the season (a franchise record), and Collin Sexton scored over 20 points for the seventh straight game to start the season (that ties a franchise high).

Cleveland got 2021 off on the right foot against the surprising Atlanta Hawks. They will look to keep that going against another surprise in the East, the Orlando Magic. This is the first of two in three days against Orlando.

On Saturday night, the Cavaliers put up a strong defensive performance in the second half that propelled them to a 96-91 win over the Hawks. Andre Drummond had a double-double for a franchise-best sixth straight time to start a season and Collin Sexton had another game with 20-plus points, including the go-ahead triple with 27 seconds left.

Cavs: Collin Sexton, Darius Garland, Andre Drummond

The Wine &amp; Gold start the New Year down in Atlanta against Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks. The Hawks are on the second night of a back-to-back, as they beat the Nets in Brooklyn on Friday night.

Another slow start to the game doomed the Cavs on Thursday afternoon. Cleveland fell to the Pacers, 119-99, as Andre Drummond recorded his fifth-straight double-double to start the season and Collin Sexton dropped 20 points yet again.

Hawks: Trae Young, Cam Reddish, Clint Capela

For the last time in the calendar year of 2020, the Wine &amp; Gold will take the floor. The last game will be in the form of a New Year's Eve matinee against the 3-1 Indiana Pacers in Indianapolis. Indy fell to the Boston Celtics on Tuesday night at home.

After jumping out to an undefeated 3-0 record and some impressive offensive performances, the Cavs struggled to get off the ground on Tuesday against the Knicks. Shots did not fall, in the first quarter particularly, and couldn't quite get over the hump. Collin Sexton did notch another 20-point game and Andre Drummond doubled-up for the fourth straight time.

Pacers: Victor Oladipo, Domantas Sabonis, Myles Turner

The Wine &amp; Gold look to improve to 4-0 on the young season Tuesday night as the New York Knicks come to town. The Knicks are 1-2 on the season and are coming off an impressive win over the Bucks. This will be Cleveland's last home of the calendar year of 2020.

The Cavs took down an Eastern Conference heavyweight on Sunday night in the Philadelphia 76ers. It was pretty much a wire-to-wire victory for the Cavaliers, as they won, 118-94. Strong outings from Collin Sexton, Darius Garland, and Andre Drummond led the way for Cleveland.

The Cavaliers have a quick turnaround, coming back home to Cleveland right after playing in Detroit the night before. The Philadelphia 76ers come to Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse for a Sunday night showdown. The Sixers - like the Cavs - will be on the second leg of a back-to-back, as they played in New York last night.

The Wine &amp; Gold won a thriller of a game in the Motor City. The Cavs and Pistons battled it out late, sending the game to not one, but two overtime periods, with Cleveland coming out on top, 128-119. Collin Sexton led all scorers with 32 points; Darius Garland &amp; Andre Drummond both went over 20 points and Kevin Love chipped in with 15 in his first game of the season. Garland also handed out 12 assists.
