CLEVELAND CAVALIERS TEAM NOTES (CONTINUED)

ASSISTS MEN: In the Dec. 21 win over Memphis, Kyrie Irving (17 pts/11 asts) and LeBron James (25 pts/11 asts) became the first Cavs duo to register points-assists

double-doubles s ince April 6, 2010 vs. Toronto (James 19/13, Mo Williams 14/12). The last time two Cavs players had at least 15 points and 10 assists in a g ame was Jan. 19, 2010, also vs. Toronto (James 28/11, Mo Williams 22/10). (Elias)

KING JAMES PASSES SIR CHARLES: Against Brooklyn on Dec. 19, LeBron James’ three-pointer with 3:59 left to play in the first qua rter moved him past Charles Barkley (23,757) for 23rd all-time on the NBA career scoring list. James currently has 23,901 points and is 468 away from surpassing Allen Iverson (24,368) for No. 22 on

the list.

MIKEY ON FIRE: In his first start of the season on Dec. 19 against Brooklyn, Mike Miller finished with a season-high 21 points on 7-8 (.875) shooting from three-point range in 34 minutes. It was Miller’s highest career three-point percentage when hitting at least seven triples in a single game. The last Cavalier to make at least seven

three-pointers and miss one triple was Daniel Gibson (7-8 vs. Utah on 12/20/10), while the last NBA player to do it was Kevin Love (8-9 vs. SAS on 12/13/13). Miller’s 21 points were also the most points scored by a Cavalier on all three-pointers. The previous club record for such a thing was 15 points, done five times by Damon Jones, twice by Daniel Gibson and once by Alonzo Gee. (Elias Sports Bureau) BLACKJACK: The Cavaliers scored the first 21 points of their 97-88 win over Cha rlotte on Dec. 15. The last NBA team to score at least the first 21 points of a game was

Portland, who opened up a 22-0 lead against Boston on February 21, 2004. (Elias Sports Bureau)

THE PRICE IS RIGHT: LeBron James surpassed Mark Price as the franchise’s leader in three-point fie ld goals made with his first triple, his 803rd as a Cavalier, on Dec. 12 against New Orleans. James is a lso nearing Mark Price (4,206) for first place on the Cavs’ all-time assists list (needs 176 to pass him).

STREAKS: The Cavs’ eight-game winning streak from Nov. 24-Dec. 9 was their longest since March 2010 (also eight games). Cleveland’s six straight wins at The Q from Nov. 24-Dec. 15 was their longest since an 11-game home winning streak from Feb. 23-Apr. 6, 2010.

GLASS CLEANERS: In the Cavs’ first ever win at the Barclays Center on Dec. 8, the Cavs outrebounded the Nets by 22 (55-33), their la rgest margin on the glass since Feb. 28, 2014 vs. Utah (+25, 56-31). Three Cavaliers pulled down at least 12 rebounds in the win (Love-14, Varejao-14, Thompson-12), which was the first time that has happened s ince Jan. 3, 1984 against Milwaukee (Jeff Cook-12, Paul Thompson-13, Lonnie Shelton-12). Thompson (8 offensive) and Varejao (7 offensive) became the first pair of Cavs to pull down at least seven offens ive boards in a game since Nov. 7, 2006 vs. Atlanta (Zydrunas Ilgauskas -7, Drew Gooden-7). (Elias Sports Bureau)

OH CANADA: In a road win against the Raptors on Dec. 5, Toronto native Tristan Thompson poured in season highs of 21 points and 14 rebounds (nine offensive) in 33 minutes off the bench. The last Cavs player to tally at least 21 points and 14 rebounds off the bench was Ben Poquette, who did it on Jan. 26, 1985 against Denver (22 points, 14 rebounds). (Elias Sports Bureau)

ANOTHER P.O.W. HONOR FOR JAMES: LeBron James has won the Eastern Conference Player of Week award twice this season (Nov. 10-16 & Nov. 24-30). His most recent one was the 47th time James has earned Player of the Week accolades in his career, the most in NBA history. It also marked the 45th time in franchise history a player

has earned Player of the Week honors and the 28th time James has earned the honor as a member of the Cavaliers.

• Week ending Nov. 30: James led Cleveland to a perfect 3-0 record, averaging 25.7 points on .510 shooting, including .800 (24-30) from the foul line, 5.3 rebounds, 8.7 assists and 2.3 steals in 33.0 minutes per game. Cleveland was the only team in the East to have a perfect record, winning games by an average margin of 23.3 points. He was the only NBA player to average at least 25 points, five rebounds and eight assists, and led the league in first quarter scoring at 11.3 points. His plus/minus was +57, which was tied for third in the Eastern Conference, trailing only teammates Kyrie Irving (+78) and Kevin Love (+68).

• Week ending Nov. 16: James led Cleveland to a perfect 3-0 record that week, averaging 35.0 points on .594 shooting, including .500 (8-16) from beyond the arc, 7.0 rebounds, 7.7 assists and 1.0 block in 36.7 minutes per game. James led the league in points per game, while also being the only player to average at least 30 points, seven rebounds and seven assists.

DOUBLING UP: In a 105-91 victory at Toronto on Dec. 5, The Wine and Gold had three players record a double-double (James-24 pts & 13 asts, Love-15 pts & 13 rebs,

Thompson-21 pts & 14 rebs) for the 2nd time this season (11/29/14 vs. Indiana). But it was the first time s ince Jan. 30, 2005 that three Cavs players had a double-double with at least 15 points (Drew Gooden, Zydrunas Ilgauskas and Jeff McInnis vs. Milwaukee). (Elias Sports Bureau)

MR. 1,000: On Nov. 19 against San Antonio, LeBron James scored at least 10 points for the 1,000th time in his career (regular & postseas on). He has currently scored in

double figures in 1,019 out of 1,029 regular and postseason contests. PUT 20 ON THE SCOREBOARD: In the Nov. 17 game against the Denver Nuggets, the Cavaliers had four players score 20 or more points (James - 22, Irving - 20, Love - 20 and Waiters - 20) for the first time since March 3, 2004 at Dallas ( James - 28, Ilgauskas - 26, Boozer - 23, Nailon - 23). In the 111-108 win over Milwaukee on Dec.

2, the Wine and Gold had three players score 26 points or more (Irving-28, Love-27 and James-26). The last time that feat was accomplished in a s ingle game was Dec. 29, 2006 when James (32), Donyell Marshall (29) and La rry Hughes (26) each scored more than 26 in a 109-99 victory at home, which was also against the Bucks. (Elias) A BUNCH OF FIVES: Against the Hawks on Nov. 15, Cleveland dished out a season-high 39 assists, which were two shy of tying the Quicken Loans Arena record (41 vs. Detroit on 4/9/14). Five Cavs players dished out at least five or more ass ists (Waiters-8, James-7, Irving-5, Love-5, Varejao-5). The last time a Cavaliers squa d was able to

accomplish tha t was on Jan. 4, 1997 vs. Indiana (Bob Sura-7, Bobby Phills-5, Chris Mills-5, Danny Ferry-5, Terrell Brandon-5). (Elias Sports Bureau)

CLEVELAND CAVALIERS TEAM NOTES (CONTINUED) RAINING THREES: In the Cavs’ win over Atlanta on Nov. 15, Cleveland had a record-setting night from the three-point line after shooting 19-31 (.613) from deep.

• The Wine and Gold set a franchise record (19) and tied a Quicken Loans Arena record (Orlando 19 triples, 12/28/10) for three-pointers in a game. • The Cavs connected on their first 11 three-pointers, becoming the first NBA team to complete that feat since Detroit hit their first 11 triples at Denver on 3/21/2012. (Elias Sports

Bureau) • The Cavaliers went 9-for-9 from three-point range in the first quarter, which are the most three-point field goals made without a miss for one team in one quarter since the NBA

added the three-point shot in 1979-80. (Elias Sports Bureau) • The Cavs’ .613 mark from the three-point line was a season-high. • Eight Cavs players made at least one three-pointer. • Four Cavs players made at least three three-pointers (James-4, Irving-4, Harris-4, Love-3), which was the first time that feat was accomplished by the Cavs s ince Jan. 1, 2012 vs. the

Nets (Jamison-3, Irving-3, Gee-3, Gibson-5). (Elias Sports Bureau) • Three Cavs players made at least four three-pointers, which was the first time that feat was accomplished in franchise history.

TWO OF A KIND: In the 118-111 win over New Orleans on Nov. 10, Kyrie Irving and LeBron James each posted a stat line of 32 points and nine assists, becoming the first ever duo in Cavs history to tally those numbers in the same game. The last NBA teammates to record at least 32 points and nine assists was Minnesota’s Ricky Davis (35 pts, 9 asts) and Kevin Garnett (33 pts, 10 asts) on March 4, 2007 vs. Boston and that game went into two overtimes. (Elias Sports Bureau)

POINTS DISTRIBUTION: Cleveland had a season-hig h seven players score in double fig ures in the 108-101 win at Denver on Nov. 7 (James-22, Love-19, Waiters-17, Varejao-15, Thompson-12, Irving-12, Marion-10).
