The Cleveland Cavaliers set team and league records for three point efficiency and routed the Atlanta Hawks 127-94 at the Q.
The win was the fourth in a row for the now 5-3 Cavaliers.
LeBron James led Cleveland with 32 points with Kyrie Irving tossing in another 20 in the blowout that allowed the Cavaliers to empty the bench and fans to see some of the players that they had not seen this season to date.
Cleveland hosts the Denver Nuggets in their next game on Monday night...
Swashbucklings...
1) 19 three pointers.Franchise record!
2) First eleven three pointers hit-,nine in the first quarter-NBA record!
3) Eight different players drilled threes with LeBron James,Kyrie Irving and Joe Harris each knocking down four!
4) 71 first half points! That's a lot and scoring like that allowed David Blatt to clear the bench and save some wear on the starters.
It's a long season and any time that you can rest guys-you should.
5) 39 assists on the night.Just read that number and you could see that the Cavaliers are beginning to progress with the David Blatt system.
Ball movement means easier shots and that is how teams can pile up assists.
6) Atlanta has been a team that seems to tinker with colors,logos etc through the years as they are always seeming to be looking to build a fanbase,which they have been trying to do since I was a kid.
Love that they went back to the 70's logo (I would love to see the Cavaliers do that),but I hate the ATL on the jerseys,the Suns did/do that and don't like those either.....
7) Finally,after three blogs this morning (whew!), last night's game was one of those that make you think that this team could be really special.
Things won't click like this every night,but when they do-the results will be devastating for the opponents.
That is why I'm keeping every game this year on DVD,It's going to be a special season!
