CLEVELAND, Ohio – Scribbles in my notebook after the Cavs’ 109-98 loss to Boston Sunday: 1. There’s a tendency in the NBA to put a lot of emphasis on a regular-season game when a “want to be great” team faces a team that has recently won a title.

NBC Sports’ Coast 2 Coast Tuesday features an 8 p.m. ET game that will be presented on NBC stations in the Eastern & Central time zones and select stations in the Mountain time zone, and an 8 p.m. PT game to NBC stations in the Pacific time zone and select Mountain time zone stations. Both games will stream live on Peacock.
