Irving has been talking for weeks about knocking the rust off, but he looked just fine in the Cavaliers’ 122-100 victory against the Toronto Raptors on Monday night.
“The game was so fun”, Irving said.
The man who has won 29 East player of the month awards still has that one fresh in his mind as Cleveland (23-9) starts its longest road trip of the season.
Irving exchanged hugs with James and Cavaliers coach David Blatt on the court after the game. The Wizards (15-18) countered with their own barrage from beyond the arc, eventually tying the game 95-95 with 10:53 remaining. Of those 32 points, 19 of them came in the fourth quarter, including 10 straight points to start the quarter.
Well, it’s safe to say that Irving is out of that slump. “To be out months and still be able to come out there and shake and bake like he’s doing is remarkable”. “That was the hump I needed to get over, and now I think I’m starting to get over it going from game to game going against great matchups, great players every single night, great teams”.
Washington led going into the second and was up 35-28 when Ramon Sessions hit a 3-pointer.
The Washington Wizards look for a statement win after winning five of their last eight games.
John Wall recorded a double-double for the Wizards, which consisted of 20 points and 12 assists. Wall knocked down all four of his three-point attempts but missed both of his free throw attempts, figures.
Kyle Lowry had 17 points, eight rebounds and six assists for the Raptors.
Cleveland led 62-50 at halftime and 73-55 early in the bombs-away third quarter. Irving has averaged 21.8 points and 5.4 assists, and the Cavs have won two of the three he’s had James for.
Crowder, who shot eight-for-13, surpassed his career high set December 18 against the Atlanta Hawks.
“Too much Kyrie”, Temple said.
Of course, Smith has always been a tough shot maker and he still posses that innate ability to bail the Cavs out on any possession.
All Cavs starters scored between 14 and 25 points in Cleveland’s highest-scoring game of the season, which featured. This time, Cleveland surpassed that total with 4:25 left in the third quarter. “We know what they did to us”.
Washington’s win in Cleveland seems to have been little more than an aberration for a team that can’t find any consistency. Things changed dramatically, in large part to Irving, who continues to work his way back from offseason knee surgery. She battled neuroblastoma for more than a year.
Forward Otto Porter, center Marcin Gortat and forward Jared Dudley all had 12 points for Washington. Following a Toronto timeout, he drove and dished to Timofey Mozgov for a dunk to put the Cavs up 14, then assisted on an Iman Shumpert 3-pointer that made it a 17-point game. They’re unbelievable. I know my mom and my wife might be a little jealous, but they’ve got to take a backseat to those two.
