CLEVELAND, Ohio- Led by head coach Kenny Atkinson, the Cleveland Cavaliers trounced the Detroit Pistons and their coach, JB Bickerstaff, 115-94, Monday night at the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit. Cavs guard Donovan "Spida" Mitchell was the team's lead scorer, finishing with 35 points.

NBA Monday night basketball is presented by Peacock.

With four games in thus far, the Cavs have won three straight games and are now 3-1 and sixth in the Eastern Conference. They lost only their first game, against the New York Nicks, earlier this month.

At the onset of the third quarter on Monday against the Pistons, all five Cavs starters —Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley, Jarrett Allen, Sam Merrill, and Jaylan Tyson —were in double digits, and by the fourth quarter, the Cavs were up 90-66, a 24-point lead. They led by as much as 35 points during the second half.

By all standards, the game was a blowout.

The Cavaliers are hoping for an NBA playoffs comeback this season, after losing Game 5 of Round 2 of the 2025 Eastern Conference playoffs against the Indiana Pacers, a best-of-seven-games series that put to rest their quest to win the 2025 Conference Finals and, ultimately, the NBA Finals.

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Today, Co-Chair of the Ohio Redistricting Commission and Senate Minority Leader Nickie J. Antonio (pictured), a Lakewood Democrat, released a statement after Republicans failed to present a congressional district map proposal at the first meeting of the Ohio Redistricting Commission. Antonio's 23rd state Senate district includes 14 of Cleveland's 17 wards, and Cleveland, a largely Black city, is part of the 11th congressional district in Ohio.

The Ohio Constitution requires that the Commission, which voters established in 2015 per a constitutional amendment, pass a bipartisan map by the end of October. Antonio is a member of the seven-member Commission due to her role as Minority Leader, a commission that also includes the governor, auditor and secretary of state. The Ohio Supreme Court can review any map for compliance with the state constitution

Ohio has 15 congressional districts, currently consisting of 10 held by Republicans and five by Democrats. These districts are a result of a map approved by the Ohio Redistricting Commission in March 2022, though the map was drawn without Democratic support and is subject to change after 2026.

With 10 days left, Republicans have continued to attempt to run out the clock and failed to introduce a map proposal, Antonio says. Congressional redistricting in Ohio is under the purview of the Commission and the Republican-dominated state legislature, and Democrats complain that President Donald Trump is allegedly behind the delay.

"For four years, we've all known this day was coming. We have a constitutional duty at this moment to make our best faith effort to work together and pass a congressional proposal by no later than October 31 – 10 days from now," said Antonio in a press release on Tuesday. "Delay after seemingly disingenuous delay, we're watching the clock run out just as it has in the past. Ohioans have sent us all a clear, unmistakable message that we need to serve them better. I hope we can all heed that call, do our constitutional duty, and work together before the end of the month."

The Constitution also requires the Commission to set rules by a bipartisan vote, which they failed to do. Co-Chair Antonio proposed using the same rules that the Commission used in 2021, but Republicans did not allow a vote on those rules. Democratic state lawmakers, led by Antonio, have already submitted their proposed map for  2026 congressional districts.

"The stakes are really high right now. Ohio has the potential to determine whether our Congress bows to the whims of an authoritarian president, or keeps tyrants in check, and provides the checks and balances that Ohioans expect and deserve," Antonio said. "I'm heartened to see news accounts that folks outside of this Commission and the legislature are currently preparing for the possibility of a referendum if the legislature should make the regrettable mistake of putting politics ahead of the people's interests."

Staff article

CLEVELAND, Ohio- The Cleveland Browns broke their three-game losing streak on Sunday, beating the Miami Dolphins 31-6 at Huntington Bank Field Stadium in downtown Cleveland, and in rainy weather during the first half of the game. It was a glorious win for Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski and Browns fans. The Browns are now 2-5.

At halftime, the Browns led 17-3 with rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel at the helm. At the onset of the fourth quarter, the Browns were up 31-6. The Dolphins, however, were unable to mount a comeback and were sent home packing.

The Browns' second-round pick, Gabriel went 13 passes for 116 yards and finished the game with 84 rushing yards and three touchdowns. Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's 24.1 passer rating was the lowest of his NFL career. He also threw three interceptions for the second consecutive week.

Sports pundits said the Browns played one of their best games on Sunday against the Dolphins, and that the Dolphins looked disengaged and were unprepared.

The Browns will play their next game against the New England Patriots next Sunday, Oct. 26, in Foxborough, MA.
