MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES (37-25) 2015-16 CLEVELAND CAVALIERS GAME NOTES OVERALL GAME # 62 HOME GAME # 33 CAVS QUICK FACTS The Cleveland Cavaliers will wrap up their four-game homestand tonight when they face the Memphis Grizzlies for the final time this season. Cleveland has won three straight games over Memphis, which includes a 106-76 win in the first meeting on Oct. 28. The 30-point win was the Cavs’ largest margin of victory against the Grizzlies in team history. In the win, Cleveland held Memphis to 29-82 (.354) shooting from the field and outrebounded them 54-40. Offensively, the Wine and Gold connected on 13-29 (.448) shots from beyond the arc, dished out 29 assists and had five players score in double figures. They also had advantages in points in the paint (48-36), second chance points (14-7), fast break points (26-8) and bench scoring (50-29). Over the last three games versus Memphis, the Cavs have outscored the Grizzlies by an average of 22.0 points (107.3-85.3), while outshooting them from the field (.533-.415) and from the three-point line (.442-.143). Cleveland has also had the edge in rebounding (45.3-36.7) and assists (31.0-19.3). The defense over that stretch has allowed a combined 7-49 (.143) shooting from beyond the arc and no more than 91 points. The Cavs have won by at least 14 points in each of the three contests. Cleveland is 31-6 in its last 37 regular season games against Western Conference opponents, including 17-5 in 2015-16. The Wine and Gold have also won 18 of their last 19 regular season games over the West at The Q (10-1 this season). MILESTONE ALERT: With 26,378 career points, LeBron James is 18 points away from passing John Havlicek (26,395) for 13 th place on the NBA’s all-time scoring list. He also needs 20 assists to pass Kevin Johnson (6,711) for 19 th in NBA history. Kevin Love is 2 threes away from tallying his 700 th career three- pointer. He could become the only player in NBA history to have a career average of at least 10.0 rebounds and connect on 700-plus three-pointers. The Cavs are a perfect 3-0 on their four-game homestand and 27-5 at The Q this season (3rd-best in NBA). Dating back to Jan. 19, 2015, they have won 47 of their last 53 regular season games at The Q. For the 6 th time this season, the Cavs topped the 120-point mark in their 120-103 win over Boston on Saturday night when they shot 42-82 (.512) from the field and had 27 assists. The Cavs are 33-3 this season when scoring 100 points or more, 18-0 when shooting at least .500 from the field and an NBA-best 27-1 when dishing out at least 23 assists. After trailing by 18 points (35-17) late in the first quarter in Saturday’s win, Cleveland outscored the Celtics 103-68 the rest of the way. The 18-point deficit matches Cleveland’s largest deficit to overcome this season (Dec. 8, 2015 vs. Portland). The Wine and Gold had a season-high eight players score double- digit points to help garner the victory over Boston (James-28, Irving-20, Smith-14, Shumpert-12, Thompson-12, Dellavedova-10, Love-10, and Mozgov-10). The last time the Cavs had eight players record 10-plus points was on Dec. 1, 2012 versus Portland. Against the Celtics on Saturday, LeBron James scored in double figures for the 700 th time in a row (regular season only) and recorded his second straight double-double, 21 st on the season (28 pts, 11 rebs, 8 asts). He joined Michael Jordan (866) and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (787) as the only players in NBA history to have double-digit scoring streaks of 700 games or more. James also moved past Tim Duncan for 14 th place on the NBA’s all-time scoring list with his 17th point on the night, a layup at the 4:43 mark of the third quarter. Iman Shumpert, who has a plus/minus of +51 over the last two games, recorded his 1 st double-double of the season (3rd of his career, all with the Cavaliers) after finishing with 12 points, a career-high 16 rebounds (six offensive), four assists and two steals in 35 minutes off the bench versus Boston. Shumpert became the first player in Cavaliers history to finish with at least 12 points, 16 rebounds and four assists off the bench and the first NBA reserve to do so since Drew Gooden (March 27, 2015 vs. Charlotte). (Elias) Kyrie Irving has scored at least 20 points in a season-high tying four straight games and in 13 of the last 17 outings. Since Jan. 29, he is averaging 22.9 points on .507 shooting from the field, 2.6 rebounds and 5.2 assists in 33.1 minutes per game. In his last nine meetings against Memphis, Kevin Love is averaging 22.2 points on .523 shooting from the field, 11.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.6 blocks in 35.2 minutes. In the Oct. 28 th win in Memphis, Love had a double-double with 17 points, 13 rebounds and three assists in 29 minutes. Timofey Mozgov has scored in double figures in three of the last four games.
