Darius Garland has solidified his place in Cleveland Cavaliers history, achieving a remarkable milestone during the game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. With his performance, Garland surpassed John Bagley to claim the third spot on the Cavs’ all-time assists leaderboard.

Trailing the Houston Rockets 109–107 in the closing seconds, Cavaliers guard Darius Garland was fouled on a three-point attempt by Tari Eason and was gifted three free-throw attempts. After review, officials deemed that Eason's close-out was actually "reckless" and upgraded the personal foul to a flagrant foul 1—meaning Garland would get three free-throw attempts and the Cavaliers would receive the ball.
