Good morning, it’s Friday, January 30th. The Cleveland Cavaliers are 29-20 and play the Phoenix Suns tonight at 9 PM. They beat the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday.

This is Cleveland’s second and final game against the Suns this season. They previously beat the Suns at home on New Year’s Eve. We hope you like staying up late — because the Cavs will be in a different time zone for the next week and a half.
