The 102-92 win featured the combination of LeBron James and Kevin Love scoring 53 points with Tristan Thompson adding 13 points off the bench.
Cleveland will take the weekend off before traveling to Philadelphia on Monday,
Swashbucklings
1) I know I raved about the ball movement against Memphis,but it could have been even crisper on Friday.
Spreading the floor with the talent that the Cavaliers possesses takes such a toll on the defense that it's going to be very difficult to beat this team in decent health.
2) LeBron James has stated the offense will run through Kevin Love and for the second game in a row,Love was hugely effective.
Love shot 6 of 15 from the floor,but his hustling around the rim (14 rebounds) and continuing to show some of the best passing skills from a big man in the game (5 assists) shows that the idea of funneling things through Love is a great idea...
3) I know I've thought that Tristan Thompson is overpaid with his new contract,but when Thompson is able to hit the occasional short jumper (which he did once in the win) his game is so effective.
Thompson is always going to be best shooting high percentage shots (dunks and foul line in),but imagine what it adds to his game (let alone the Cavaliers),if he could do that...
4) 10 assists from Matthew Dellavedova.
Imagine when he becomes the 3rd string point guard!
5) I really like what I've seen from Jared Cunningham.
Cunningham only played nine minutes,but he brings energy and athleticism that adds to a second unit that could use it.
Cunningham has a real chance to develop into a dynamic force off the bench,,,,
