Winning 4 in 5 nights and winning the last one on the road -- I'll take that anytime, anyhow.
30-11 in the 4th quarter. 30 is great and all, but that 11 is superb. Big efforts when it counted.
I thought it was interesting how Blatt went to Miller and, for even longer, Dellavedova in the 4th. You have to find the minutes somewhere during these crowded stretches of the schedule, especially when Shumpert is turning the ball over too much, and Smith is looking lost on defense (tonight, not always). Dellevadova played the last 9 minutes against Portland, too. It's hard not to put him in there when he defends hard and takes care of the ball, even though his deficiencies are of course evident. Kevin Martin didn't look like he enjoyed being pestered, I'll say that. Dellavedova also knows how to get the ball to LeBron quickly.
Wiggins has got some skills! I don't care if he wore down. I wanted the Cavs to keep him, but I finished the grieving period a long time ago. At this point I wish him luck when Minnesota is playing someone else. He looked super through 3 quarters.
At least we got rid of Bennett. I think he played tonight but I didn't notice anything except one really big screen that knocked a few of Love's teeth loose.
Cavs got away with a game where they were casual for 3 quarters and let their superstar and their team defense take over in the 4th. I remember
a lot of games like that 5-6 years ago. I don't know if it's a bad sign that they pulled it off with such ease that they'll just do it again versus other undermanned opponents. I guess we'll see on Monday.
Just want to say: great 4th quarter by Tristan. But the Cavs still need a backup C... What they did tonight is not exactly sustainable.
