All the Cleveland Cavaliers lacked coming into the season was a reliable spot-up threat and a solid two-way center, and it looks like they found the former in Timofey Mozgov.

The Cavaliers were just 19-17 before trading for Mozgov and have been on a tear ever since, posting a record of 29-10. Along with the emergence of J.R. Smith and LeBron James's improved health, Mozgov has been a huge part of their success, thanks to his rim protection and occasional pick-and-roll finishes.

On Thursday, Kyrie Irving set up Mozgov to show off a bit of his finishing ability with a furious alley-oop.
