Kevin Love Drops a Record 34 Points in the First Quarter

“He’s the quarterback. I’m just the receiver”.

They have faced no ordinary teams. The Rockets lost for the first time in four games.

We can not blame Portland Trail Blazers and Los Angeles Lakers, they have done their part by scoring 125 and 106 points, respectively. “Obviously, we had a huge hot hand”, James told reporters of Love. “We simply must be better and compete better”.

Love landed all of his first seven shots, including five three-pointers, as the reigning National Basketball Association champions secured victory on a scoreline of 137-125. “I wanted him to continue to touch it”, Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue said. In the end, it wasn’t quite enough, though, as the Cavaliers’ offensive onslaught was just too potent for Portland to keep up with and Cleveland walked away with a nice win. Both marks are franchise records. Despite only scoring nine points, Love is remembered most in this final game for his 14 rebounds and for a one-on-one defensive stop on Steph Curry when the Warriors had a chance to tie the game with less than one minute remaining. “The last couple games the guys have been shooting really well”.

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 Mavericks are off to their worst start since Dirk Nowitzki’s rookie season at 2-12 and have a lot of work to do if they hope to make a dent in the Conference.

Mavericks guard Deron Williams (strained left calf) returned after missing the last four games. That is why on their rematch against the Lakers, they dropped 80 first half points.

Cavaliers forward Channing Frye has been excused from the team following the death of his father, Thomas, on Thanksgiving.

Golden State’s point total was an National Basketball Association season high, bettering the 133 the Warriors scored against Phoenix in their previous home game on November 13.

Iman Shumpert hit his 300th career three-pointer and Kyrie Irving passed Booby Gibson for third in Cleveland Cavaliers all-time threes. Love fell on top of a fan chasing a loose ball in the third quarter. When the Blazers pulled with 14 midway through the fourth quarter, James charged down the lane for a soaring one-handed dunk, leaving the Blazers looking at each other with confusion and ending the long-shot comeback threat. Dallas is just 1-8 on the road, with the victory coming against the Los Angeles Lakers on November 8.
