Cavs put unusual stop to Kevin Love’s jaw-dropping game

Love was on fire from the outset and ended the quarter by connecting on 11 of his 14 shots, including 8-of-10 from beyond the 3-point line. Steph Curry with 31 points for the Warriors while Klay Thompson, whose record of 37 in any quarter was just missed by Love, added 26.

The team is averaging 14 3-pointers per game this season and shooting 40 percent as a team, tied with the San Antonio Spurs for best in the league.

James assisted on seven of Love’s eight 3-pointers. “Kev’s been doing those outlet passes. I just felt like guys were finding me”. They play a attractive game and they have a no nonsense Coach in Gregg Popovich.

The Mavericks dragged the league’s worst record into Friday’s game primarily because of injuries. Dallas scored the game’s first basket before the Cavaliers turned the game into a rout.

They made 21 on Wednesday in racking up 137 points in a lopsided win over the Portland Trail Blazers. “It’s great”, said James. “We simply must be better and compete better”. LeBron closed the game with 12 points in the fourth quarter.

Love, meanwhile, has made 15 3-pointers in his last two games after making a total of 18 in the first 12 games. “When we shoot the ball like this we’re hard to beat”.

Both Love and Thompson did most of their damage on 3-pointers.

“I’m amazed every time at the shots he makes”.

Much of the criticism that Love has received the past two seasons has come due to the fact that he wasn’t playing up to the same level he played at with his former team, the Minnesota Timberwolves.

LeBron James chipped in with 19 points, five rebounds and 11 assists in his 1000th regular-season game. Mavericks G Deron Williams returned to the lineup after missing eight games with a strained left calf.

Love was 1 for 6 and scored six points the rest of the game, all in the third quarter.

Cleveland forward Channing Frye will not be with the team Sunday, as his father, Tommy, died on Thanksgiving.

Now, it should be stated that during the first quarter of the game, the Blazers were apparently trying out a new play scheme called “no defence whatsoever“.

The Philadelphia 76ers put up a surprisingly good fight when they hosted the Cleveland Cavaliers earlier this month. He slapped hands with the fan during the next stoppage of play. BUZZER BEATERS1.
