With @camakazee 's blessing, I've decided to bring back the neat-o stats of the night. Hope I can do it justice in time.
3/3 @ Atlanta
Strong Start:
*The Cavaliers put up a 39 spot in the 1st quarter, the 3rd time they've reached that plateau this season.
*The 39 points was their highest scoring 1st quarter vs an Eastern Conference team since 11/15/2014, which also came against the Hawks.
Glass is Half Full:
*The Cavs put up 77 points in the 1st half, 3rd most in franchise history and the most 1st half points they've ever put up on the road.
*The Cavaliers 77 1st half points is also the 6th most put up by any team on the road in the past 20 years.
Glass is Half Empty:
*The Cavs gave up a 60 spot in the 1st half tonight, the 8th time they've done that this season. However, they are now 6-2 in those games.
Points Galore:
*The Cavs allowed 130+ points in a non-OT game for the 2nd time in the past two seasons. Prior to last season, they had allowed 130 points in a non-OT game twice in the previous 25 seasons.
*The Clevelanders scored 135+ points in a non-OT game for the 2nd time this season and the 8th time in franchise history.
*The 135 points scored is the most in a non-OT road game in franchise history.
Good Signs:
*Richard Jefferson went 3-5 from deep tonight and is now 8-16 (.500) over his last 5 games. He had been 2 for his previous 15 and 7 for his previous 28.
*Channing Frye had 3 triples himself tonight, going 3-6. He was 6 for his previous 26 coming into tonight.
New and Improved:
*New backup PG Deron Williams has 9 assists and 1 turnover in just over 41 minutes of action as a Cav.
*Derrick Williams, trying to revive his career as a Cavalier, has drilled 12 triples as a Wine and Golder (12-29). That's 1 less than he hit in his previous 25 games combined, dating back to last season.
Rare Breeds:
*Kyrie Irving finished with 43p, 9a, 4s, and 5 triples on just 21 FGA. The only other player to have done this on 21 or fewer FGA (at least since '83-84) is Dwyane Wade.
*LeBron James had 38p, 13r, 8a, and 6 3ptM. He joins Vince Carter and James Harden as the only players to have ever had such a stat line.
*LeBron is the only of the three to have this stat line with 2 or fewer turnovers.
Road Warrior:
*LeBron James over his last 9 road games:
27.4/8.4/10.7 on .543 shooting (.490 from deep)
Beast of the (South)East:
*LeBron James vs the South East Division:
29.4/8.4/8.8/1.78s on .527 shooting (.525 from deep)
Front End Alignment:
*The Cavaliers have improved to 10-2 on the front end of a back to back. They've averaged 114.5 PPG in their 10 wins.
