EDGE Analysis

Cleveland had already claimed the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference a while back, so they opted to rest most of their rotation Sunday. That allowed Bates to see extended run, and the second-year forward responded with multiple career highs. Bates made just 10 appearances in the regular season, averaging 3.7 points in 7.5 minutes per contest.
