When we replaced Allen with LeVert, the middle of the floor opened wide for DM & DG. Having shooters to space the floor makes such a difference

Cavs up 2 behind Donovan's 32 points--with 5 minutes left in the 3rd.

DM knows how to score.

Our defense and offense look a little better.

Donovan is playing with lots of heart and intensity on both ends this 3rd quarter- love it

Probably just a nightly coincidence. Every team we play can’t seem to miss

We are 8th worst in opponents 3P% but in the same range as teams like Toronto, GS, SAC, MIA, LAC

Ifs nkt great obviously but not exactly what it means, especially when our overall defense is top5

I do feel for Ricky... he is trying to play on toothpicks for legs after shutting it down so long.

As soon as he came in for Wade the middle of the floor closed up. They are both playing the “stand in the corner and see if someone passes to you” position, but the difference in how the defense treats them is night and day. Whether it’s Wade, or someone better, we have to have a threat from 3 in that position going forward.
