— Cleveland Cavaliers (@cavs) March 9, 2019Sexton has been impressive over the past five weeks. He was averaging 17.9 points, three rebounds and three assists-per-game in his last 13 games going into Friday night's contest. The Cavs' rookie has taken a lot of criticism this season, but the return of Kevin Love has had a positive impact on his play.
