Just Minutes Into Debut With Cavs & Andrew Bogut is Already Injured

Houston made 24 treys in a 122-100 win over New Orleans on December 16.

Budenholzer also made contact with a game official last season, also during a game against the Cavaliers.

“We probably could have had more”, said Lue following the game.

All eight of those games have been relatively lopsided one way or the other as Miami’s four wins came by an average of 17.8 points per game, and the four losses came by an average of 8.8 points per game.

With the regular season series between the Cavs and Heat tied at 1-1, the rubber match is set for Monday night, when LeBron James and Kyrie Irving return to the starting line-up for Cleveland. Though he did sport an above-average 40% from three-point land, Smith’s performances didn’t quite reflect the commitment the team would eventually offer him in the 2016 off season.

Cleveland made 25 of 46 3s to break a record that stood less than three months. No punches were thrown, but it nonetheless was a freaky moment in an otherwise tiresome night in which Cavs stars LeBron James and Kyrie Irving both rested. “We’ll get better. We’ll learn from tonight”. After falling behind early, Atlanta fought back in the second half to cut the lead down to three before finally losing in the final minutes. Korver then quelled the comeback by leaning in for his third three-pointer of the night. The Cavalier’s will need to get creative with finding young talent to age with Irving, James, and Love or else the team will suffer in the long-run. They were going to make a run.

“We’ll just have to see how the flow of the game goes”. Cleveland finished with 77 points at halftime. To say things were sloppy is oversimplifying. “All the five guys out there were really good”.

Goran Dragic scored 23 and Hassan Whiteside added 20 points and 13 rebounds against the Cavs, who were paced by Frye’s 21 points off the bench.

“That first two-and-a-half quarters was great basketball”, Lue said. “We played well (Saturday)”.

Acquired from Dallas last week in the deal that sent Nerlens Noel to the Mavericks, Anderson hit his first seven shots and forced Knicks star Carmelo Anthony into 5-for-18 shooting.
