Andrew Bogut injures his left leg 58 seconds into Cavs career

Fournier scored 11 points on him in the first six minutes, before NY went away from the attempt at a small-ball lineup.

The Cavaliers went 11-of-27 from 3-point range on Saturday after setting an National Basketball Association record with 25 made 3-pointers at Atlanta on Friday.

The Heat – who hover near the middle of the National Basketball Association pack shooting the three-ball – finished with 16 triples on Monday night and combined for 34 in the two-game home-and-home set. That bested the regular-season record of 24 set on December 16, 2016 by the Houston Rockets against Orlando. “I remember previous year in the playoffs, that was brutal”.

“It should have been more”, Cleveland coach Tyronn Lue said. What kind of rotational fit would he be for the best team in the East?

The Cavs cut the lead to single digits in the fourth, as LeBron sailed to a 30 points, 17 rebound performance, but aside from Kyrie Irving’s game-leading 32 points, no other Cavalier registered in double digits.

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. – Reggie Jackson scored 24 of his 26 points in the second half, and Detroit pulled away down the stretch for a victory over Chicago. James had six 3-pointers and scored 38.

The Cavs look like great front-runners right now, but don’t know how to react when their shots aren’t falling. Waiters and Kyrie Irving were supposed to be the faces of the Cavs in the post-LeBron era.

“When you sign a guy or bring a guy in, you don’t expect that type of thing to happen a minute after he checks into the game”, he said.

With Kevin Love slated to return in a few weeks, the Cavaliers will regain an All-Star talent, but Bogut would have been a luxury, especially in the Playoffs, where he has proven to be a force in recent years.

NY scored 10 straight points to start the fourth quarter and eventually pushed that to a 23-4 run that turned a seven-point deficit into a 108-96 lead with 4:38 left in the game.

“It was a tough decision”, Bogut said.

James said, “They’re a good team”. “They make a couple shots and the basket starts looking a little bigger and bigger and bigger”. “We just had to withstand it”. Kent Bazemore had 14 points and seven assists. He gets to the rim and draws contact at an excellent rate and he’s learned the player can’t keep up with his speed and ball-handling.

– “Nine times out of 10 in the game, even if it is music, sometimes you’re so zone in that you don’t even hear the music”, Rodney McGruder said. Miami took a large 18-point lead into the the final quarter of play. “Who we played Saturday is not who we’re playing tonight”.

The Cavs eyed Bogut all season, targeting him as a likely buyout candidate from his contract. He’s not a good shooter – his 40.6 percent shooting from the line is proof – ad he’s dealt with a number of injuries in the past.

The win squares the season series; Atlanta won the first game in Cleveland.
