Nets Cavs.

Obviously wanted to see what Love could contribute and he looked to have some lift in his step tonight, didn't impress, statistically, but his body language is key right now.

Some? There were moments when he looked like he was skipping.

Assists in games this year:
39 vs. ATL
34 vs. MEM
32 vs. MIA
32 vs. BKN
31 vs. LAL
28 vs. TOR
28 vs. WAS
27 vs. TOR
27 vs. TOR
26 vs. NO
26 vs. DAL

6 vs. UTA
13 vs GS
13 vs WAS
14 vs LAL
15 vs GS
16 vs MIN
16 vs MIA
17 vs MIA

It's more of a mixed bag if you look at the stats.

Dividing the 70 games in half to 35 and looking at games vs. teams currently in a play off spot, 18 of those top 35 assist games were against teams in a play off spot.
If you look at the bottom 35 games for assists, 19 of those were against teams currently in a play off spot.
Pretty close to dead even.

Let's go further.
Of the top 35 assist games vs. teams in a play off spot right now the Cavs won 13 of the 18 games.
Of the lowest 35 assist games vs, teams in a play off spot right now the Cavs won 7 of the 19 games.

Pretty significant edge to more assists is better against current play off teams.

It seems to me that it had more to do with practice. The more practice they have the more they get back to the ball movement.
