Boxscore: Cleveland 92, Utah 73

The good thing about this game is the starters got to come out early in the 4th quarter and the bench got decent run. Cleveland played good defense, showed passion and heart, while Utah was ice cold all night.

Any reason why Tractor saw no minutes at all. I am not complaining i just wondered. Great game all around, also Diop looked nice in the last 5 minutes.

Another well coached game by Silas, out of nowhere he is managing to keep Z/Lebron on the court at all times and integrating Varejao/Sasha more.


I would have liked to see more from Welsch in a blowout like this but he only got 9 mins. He needs a breakout game to get over the hump.

Disappointing defensive night for the Cavs. They allowed an offensive explosion by the Jazz. I mean, 73 points?! Last game, they only scored 62.

I like the mechanics on Jiri's shot. The form is nice and hopefully it will come around soon.

I wonder if that 6 game slide didn't wake Paul Silas up. I think he's firmly in Verejao's corner now. And he seems to be now making the moves we've all been pleading all season for him to make with the roster.

Hopefully this isn't a fluke right now, and that the Cavs have really righted their ship.

It's not too late to seal up homecourt in the first round.

^^ yes he does have a great release, perfect form and follow through. Seems very emotional though in terms of his confidence, which can be an issue since we already have a couple guys like that in Drew and Jmac.

Yeah. Paul Silas has Anderson Verejao, and he finally understands what that means.

This is amazing: is Silas turning it around? Sat Harris again in favor of Sasha. And he didn't play the fat man: Brilliant! I might have to change my opinion on the old coach if this continues win or lose

I saw LeBron finished with 36/9/2. You mentioned he was lighting it up in the first half, how many points did he have at halftime?

25 I think. LeBron with an amazing scoring game, 36 points on 15 shots is ridiculously efficient. It's fun to watch this guy steamroll the league.

The OUTLAW

LeBron had 26 at the half but he only took about 5 shots in the 3rd quarter (and got fouled on several of those). He took none in the minute and a half he played of the fourth quarter. He probably could have put up 50 had he had that in mind tonight.

Traylor did play, but he got 3 fouls pretty quickly.

LOYALTY

Great effort in the first half from Bron on a night when they were trying to stop him from any inside game. He got some early points in the paint anyway, which made Utah panic and play him for the drive every time. When Bron saw that, he sat back and popped jump shots from everywhere. He was just feeling it tonight.

The rest of the team was average to below average on offense, but they played some Tough Defense all night. I expect to see the big men come out with some Fire tomorrow night. Z and especially Traylor should be well rested for the Milwuakee game. If the team plays tough D like tonight, they have a good chance to win. But back-to-backs are always tough.

The OUTLAW

For some reason Utah was trying to single cover LeBron but they had no one that could stay in front of him. When they went into their zone he just knocked down jump shots over them.
