What happened
Mario Hezonja responded to Cleveland's win over Orlando with 13 points, five rebounds, two assists and two steals, a better showing after Kenny Atkinson said the forward was still learning the Cavs' system and role.
Atkinson also said not to read too much into the preseason rotation, but Tyrese Proctor has barely had a chance while Tuesday's final tune-up should bring more minutes for the starters.
Hezonja's improved fit could keep him in the mix for frontcourt minutes, but his role is still being sorted out. Proctor's preseason usage suggests the backup point guard picture remains unsettled heading into the last exhibition.
