Rookie Meleek Thomas Called Himself a Star After One NBA Game

Anthony Lima and Nick Pedone react to the Cavs’ 127-125 overtime win over the previously unbeaten Timberwolves, led by rookie Meleek Thomas, who goes 4-of-5 from three in his debut and sparks a comeback after a flat first half. Donovan Mitchell says he doesn’t know if they win without him, and Owen pushes back on crowning a 34th overall pick after one game. The group debates how Kenny Atkinson should manage minutes for an aging James Harden and a worn-down Mitchell, the lingering sting of missing out on LeBron, and Deshaun Watson getting a standing ovation courtside.
