Let’s go over today’s winners and losers. WINNER – Keon Ellis This was a fantastic 48 hours for Keon Ellis.

He started the week by nailing 3-of-7 three-point attempts in Cleveland’s win over the Pacers. Then, he followed it up with another big shooting night on the road — scoring 16 points and nailing another three three-pointers in the first half against Memphis. We’ve seen shades of Ellis that we didn’t even know existed.

The three-point stroke is pure, but some of his on-ball attacks have really surprised me. In particular, he had a drive out of the baseline that turned into a totally unexpected across-his-body dunk. Honestly, that would've made Admin call a timeout too.
