Still more minutes than you’d like from your starters, but we were cruising a good part of it. Nice, “professional”, late season win.

 

[jjvors]

Okay, a nice 4th-quarter win. Cavs with the 10-point victory, beat them by 11 in the 4th.

We ended up out-rebounding them. We caused 8 turnovers in the 4th. The shooting evened out.

Hope we beat the Magic in the first game and rest. Would had to drag it out to the last day of the season…

 

[J_J]

LeVert becoming Iguadola with a 3P shot before our eyes?

He’s now shooting 39% from downtown this season - career high

 

[KilgoreTrout]

Serena with matching blue Nike kicks

Does she have matching eyeglass frames, or did she put her contacts in?

 

[J_J]

Happy for Dean Wade - he was +15 tonight with the starters. He made two key offensive rebounds and his length does help the team with the starters. He made a 3 pointer too.

 

[jjvors]

More 4-5 syllable D words please

Deliciously, delectible, dynomite victory.

 

[Dr No]

Happy for Dean Wade - he was +15 tonight with the starters. He made two key offensive rebounds and his length does help the team with the starters. He made a 3 pointer too.

I’ve been waiting for coach to come in with the updated “we are - & - when Dean plays 20+ minutes “. (It is an interesting stat)

 

[Comeback kid]

Happy for Dean Wade - he was +15 tonight with the starters. He made two key offensive rebounds and his length does help the team with the starters. He made a 3 pointer too.

17-5 this year when he plays 20 minutes or more. How’s that Dr. No!

 

[jjvors]

Individual stats:

Starters:
Mobley 14-16-4 with 4 blocks in 39 minutes. Ho-hum. Another typical game.
Garland 20-3-6 with 2 steals in 39 minutes.
Allen 15-7-1 with a steal in 26 minutes. Welcome back! We've missed you!
Mitchell 40-6-1 with 3 steals in 40 minutes. His 3rd 40 point game in a row.
Wade 5-5-1 in 27 minutes He looked solid with some key rebounds and defensive possessions.

Bench: 21-6-10 in 33 minutes. Besides Levert, the rest just played 14 minutes.
LeVert 15-3-4 with 3 blocks in 33 minutes. Productive and essential to our team. JYD, IMO
Rubio 0-1-5 with a steal in 14 minutes. Gave Garland and Mitchell some breathing room.
Osman 4-0-1 in 9 minutes
Stevens 2-2-0 in 12 minutes

Cavs Pacers highlights:

 

[Lil Z]

Magic are a young team on the rise with nothing to lose. We need to come out with intensity and solidify the 4th seed on Tuesday.

Cavs sprinkle the NBA stat boards.
