Love scores 40, including 34 in 1st, James has triple-double

But after reviewing film with assistant coach Phil Handy, Love said he was passing up good shot opportunities because he was aiming to draw fouls instead. “You can’t have that”. This will be a race worth watching all season since James has led his team in scoring in each of his first 13 years in the league. James moved past Guy Rodgers to move into the 17th spot among the NBA’s all-time assist leaders and now leads the Eastern Conference with 9.3 dimes per contest.

The Cavaliers have scored at least 100 points in all nine home games this season. While the Warriors have assaulted the three-point section of the record books, the Cavs hold their fair share of records, too, including the most threes in a single playoff game and the most threes in consecutive playoff games.

Love managed the feat off a bonkers 11-14 FG shooting, sinking 8 of 10 from beyond 3-point range. “Obviously people [are] going to look at the shooting, the way we’re shooting the 3-ball right now, but defensively we stepped it up more now”. Dallas scored the game’s first basket before the Cavaliers turned the game into a rout.

Love scored a career-high 51 points while playing for Minnesota on March 23, 2012.

The Hawks (10-5) bounced back from an 18-point Tuesday night home loss to New Orleans to dominate struggling IN, including 56-37 IN rebounding. I don’t see them getting beat by any Eastern Conference Team, unless one of their big 3 gets injured. “My teammates are doing a great job of just finding me and vice versa”.

DeMarcus Cousins scored 36 points, and Rudy Gay added 15 of his 17 points in the second half to lead Sacramento past Oklahoma City. Heck, they even have a Curry – Seth, not Steph, which didn’t stop the 20,562 at The Q from booing every time they heard the surname. “You know, he’s able to do it with double-teams and triple teams – MVP performance”, guard Tim Frazier said. “It’s just odd that it’s on this team because we have so many (scorers)”.

In Dallas, Chris Paul scored 18 points, DeAndre Jordan had 16 points and eight rebounds and the Los Angeles Clippers cruised past the Dallas Mavericks, 124-104, in a matchup of the teams with the best and worst records in the National Basketball Association.

Zach LaVine scored 26 for the Timberwolves. Run the floor. If you’re open, we got to throw you the ball.

The second half was a little more normal – the Blazers actually out-scored the Cavs 65-56 as Damian Lillard finished with 40 points (13-of-21 FG, 5-of-7 3FG, 9-of-9 FT) and 11 assists.
