Cleveland is also the first team to accomplish this feat in the playoffs as well (2016 Semifinals versus Atlanta: 25 3FGM in Game 2 and 21 3FGM in Game 3).

NBA-RECORD 16 THREES IN A HALF: Cleveland set an NBA record for threes made in a half with 16 triples in the first

half in a 137-125 win over Portland on Nov. 23 (later tied by Denver on 2/13/15 vs. GSW). The Cavs finished with a Quicken Loans Arena regular season record for three-pointers in a single game, knocking down 21-36 (.583) shots from deep.

DOUBLE-DIGIT THREE-POINT RECORD TO START SEASON: Cleveland made at least 10 three-pointers in their

first 16 games of the 2016-17 season, setting an NBA record for consecutive games with 10 or more triples to start a season (prev. held by Houston, first eight games in 2014-15).

2016-17 CAVALIERS NOTES

HIGH Q Cleveland has the 2nd-best home record in the NBA at 28-7 (.800) and is averaging 112.7 points at The Q, which includes 10 contests with 120 points or more. Since March 25, 2014, Cleveland is 80-7 when scoring at least 100 points at The Q (26-3 this season). They have also won 46 straight home games when shooting at least .500 from the field (15-0 this season).

THE Q VS. THE WEST: The Cavs finished 12-3 against the West at home this season. Going back to mid-January 2015, the Cavs

have won 32 of their last 38 home games against the Western Conference.

128 POINTS IN CONSECUTIVE GAMES: The Cavs have had back-to-back games with at least 128 points on three

occasions this season (Nov. 1-3, Nov. 23-25, Feb. 6-8), including twice at home (Nov. 1-3, Nov. 23-25). Prior to this season, Cleveland has never had consecutive games with at least 128 points. (Elias Sports Bureau)

137 POINTS IN REGULATION AT THE Q: The Cavs had a high scoring night at home against Portland on Nov. 23, scoring 137 points, the most any team has ever scored in regulation

at The Q (prev. Golden State, 132 on 1/18/16). The last time Cleveland has reached that mark in a home game was 4/9/92 against Charlotte (141 points). The Cavs also scored 81 points in the first half, which were just two shy of the franchise record for any half (83 in 2nd H on 1/19/93 vs. Indiana).

50-40-90: In a 128-90 home win over Dallas on Nov. 25, Cleveland shot over 50% from the field (.506), 40% from the three-point line (.465) and 90% from the foul line (.917). It marked just the

fourth time since the 2000-01 season the Cavs have had a 50-40-90 game (4/5/16 vs. MIL, 3/13/07 vs. SAC, 12/11/01 vs. HOU). Cleveland also accomplished that feat in a Feb. 8 win at Indiana.

86.7% FROM THE FIELD IN A QUARTER: In a 128-120 home win over Houston on Nov. 1, Cleveland scored 43 points in the fourth quarter, which was three points shy of their team

record for points in a period (46, three occasions). In the final period, the Cavs shot 13-15 (.867) from the field, which was their highest field goal percentage in a quarter since Dec. 15, 1999, when they went 15-17 (.882) in the fourth at New Jersey. (Elias Sports Bureau)

UNDEFEATED AT HOME ON XMAS: By defeating Golden State on Christmas Day (109-108), the Cavaliers improved to 6-0 at home all-time on Christmas Day, which is the best home

record of any NBA team on Christmas (Miami is 5-0).

SEEING STARS Kyrie Irving (starter), LeBron James (starter) and Kevin Love (reserve) were selected to the Eastern Conference roster in the 2017 NBA All-Star Game. It marked the first time the Cavs had multiple starters in the event and the third time that three Cavs players were selected to an All-Star roster (Brad Daugherty, Larry Nance and Mark Price in 1989 and 1993). In the 192-182 win for the West this year, both Irving (22 PTS, 14 ASTS, 7 REBS, 3 STLS) and James (23 PTS) had strong performances.

NO. 13 FOR LEBRON: James was the top overall vote-getter in the conference among all three voting groups (fans, media, players) and

had the most fan votes in the NBA(1,893,751). His 2017 All-Star appearance marked the 13th consecutive (all starts) for the two-time NBA All-Star Game MVP (2006 and 2008). He became the fifth player in league history to start at least 13 All-Star Games, joining Kobe Bryant (15), Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (13), Bob Cousy (13) and Michael Jordan (13). He also tied Bob Cousy for most consecutive All-Star starts in NBA history (13). In the 2017 All-Star Game, James finished with 23 points (10-17 FG) and three rebounds in 19 minutes, while also becoming the first NBA player to score 300 points in All-Star Game history with his 9th point of the night. In 13 All-Star appearances, James has averaged 24.2 points, 6.0 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.3 steals in 29.4 minutes while shooting .518 (129-249) from the floor. Among all-time leaders in All-Star Game history, he ranks first in points scored (314), first in field goals made (129), first in three-pointers made (31), fourth in scoring average (24.2, min. 2 games), sixth in assists (76) and tied for 12th in steals (17). He also has the most 20-point games in All-Star history with 10 (next closest is Oscar Robertson, eight).

NO. 4 FOR KYRIE: It marked Irving’s fourth All-Star selection (2013, 2014 and 2015) and second as a starter (2014). In the 2017 All-Star Game, Irving nearly had a triple-double after tallying

22 points, a 6-8 (.750) mark from beyond the arc, seven rebounds, a game-high 14 assists and three steals in 22 minutes. In his four All-Star outings, he has averaged 19.8 points on .653 (32-49) shooting from the field, a .538 (14-26) mark from beyond the arc, 5.3 rebounds and 9.3 assists (3rd-most all-time, min. 2 games) in 24.9 minutes. In addition to earning MVP honors in the 2014 NBA All-Star Game in New Orleans, Irving won the 2013 Foot Locker Three-Point Contest at All-Star Weekend in Houston and was named MVP of the 2012 BBVA Rising Stars Challenge at All-Star Weekend in Orlando. He also finished second in this year’s JBL Three-Point Contest (Eric Gordon, first place).

NO. 4 FOR KEVIN: Despite not playing due to injury, the 2017 All-Star selection was the fourth for Love, who was previously named as a reserve in 2011 and 2012 and as a starter in 2014.

TOP NOTCH TRIO Kyrie Irving (25.6), LeBron James (26.1) and Kevin Love (19.5) are averaging a combined 71.2 points per game. The Cavs are one of two teams in the NBA with three players averaging at least 19.0 points in 2016-17 (GSW). The three Cavs players have scored at least 20 points apiece in the same game 15 times this season (12-3 record). Since the beginning of the 2014-15 season, the trio of Irving, James and Love have each scored 20 points or more in a regular season game 25 times (21-4 record).

FRANCHISE-RECORD 101 POINTS (IRVING/JAMES/LOVE): In a 125-120 road win over the Lakers on March 19, Kyrie Irving (46 pts, 15-21 FG, 6-10 3FG, 10-10 FT), LeBron

James (34 pts, 13-22 FG, 6 rebs, 7 asts) and Kevin Love (21 pts, 15 rebs) combined for 101 points, which were the most combined points scored by any three players in Cavaliers history. The last NBA team to have three players score at least 101 points were the Chicago Bulls, who did it with four overtimes on Dec. 18, 2015 (Jimmy Butler-43, Derrick Rose-34, Pau Gasol-30).

DUO EACH AVERAGES 25.0 PPG IN A SINGLE MONTH (IRVING/JAMES): In February, Kyrie Irving (25.4 PPG) and LeBron James (25.9 PPG) each averaged at least 25.0

points per game. In January, Irving (25.5 PPG) and James (25.7) also put up 25.0-plus points per game. Prior to January 2017, no pair of Cavs teammates ever averaged 25.0 points or more in a single month in franchise history. The two players are also on pace to do it again in March. No pair of Cavs teammates ever averaged 25.0 points each for a season. (Elias Sports Bureau)

20+ IN THREE STRAIGHT GAMES (IRVING/JAMES/LOVE): Irving, James and Love each scored at least 20 points in three straight games from December 5-9. The last Cavs trio

to have 20 points or more in three straight games were Austin Carr, John Johnson and Bingo Smith in games played in February 1972 (2/23/72 to 2/27/72). (Elias Sports Bureau)

30-POINT DOUBLE-DOUBLES (IRVING/LOVE): According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Kyrie Irving (32 points, 12 assists) and Kevin Love (30 points, 15 rebounds) became just the

fourth duo in Cavs history to post a double-double and score 30 or more points in the same game in a 124-118 win over Boston on Dec. 29. It also happened in 1971 (Walt Wesley and Butch Beard), 1980 in a quadruple-overtime game (Randy Smith and Dave Robisch) and 1991 (Brad Daugherty and Larry Nance).

15 ASSISTS & 15 REBOUNDS WITH 15 POINTS (JAMES/LOVE): In a Jan. 13 win at Sacramento, Kevin Love (15 pts, 18 rebs) and LeBron James (16 pts, 15 asts) became just

the 3rd set of teammates in Cavaliers history in which one totaled at least 15 points and 15 rebounds while another registered 15 or more points and 15 or more assists: Tyrone Hill (16 pts, 15 rebs)/Andre Miller (18 pts, 15 asts) in 2002 at CHI and Zydrunas Ilgauskas (28 pts, 18 rebs)/Jeff McInnis (16 pts, 15 asts) vs. MIL in 2005. (Elias)

ONE SCORES 40 POINTS, ANOTHER GETS A TRIPLE-DOUBLE (TWICE): The Cavs have had one player score 40-plus points and another record a triple-double in the same

game on two occasions this season. In the Nov. 23 win over Portland, Love tallied 40 points and James posted a triple-double with 31 points, 10 rebounds and 13 assists. At New Orleans on Jan. 23, Irving finished with 49 points while James registered 26 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists.

12 ASSISTS FOR TWO CAVS PLAYERS (IRVING/JAMES): In the Feb. 1 win over Minnesota, the Cavs dished out a season-high 37 assists. Kyrie Irving (14) and LeBron James (12

assists) accounted for 26 dishes and became the first Cavs teammates with at least 12 assists apiece in a game since April 6, 2010 vs. Toronto (L. James-13, M. Williams-12).

35 POINTS & 8 ASSISTS APIECE (IRVING/JAMES): According to the Elias Sports Bureau during a March 3 win at Atlanta, Irving (43 points, 9 assists) and James (38 points, 8

assists) became just the 3rd pair of NBA teammates to each score at least 35 points and hand out eight assists in a non-overtime game and both other instances occurred in the 1965-66 season. Wilt Chamberlain (39 points, 10 assists) and Hal Greer (38, 10) did it for Philadelphia in a game against Cincinnati; and Oscar Robertson (38, 12) and Jerry Lucas (35, 8) did it for Cincinnati against Detroit.

2016-17 CAVALIERS NOTES

K-LOVE-ING IT Kevin Love is averaging 19.5 points and 11.1 rebounds (8th in NBA), including 8.6 defensive boards (9th in NBA), in 31.3 minutes per game this season. He has 34 double-doubles (tied-13th in NBA) and is shooting .379 from deep and .873 from the foul line (17th in NBA).

19-10 CLUB: Love is one of five NBA players averaging at least 19.0 points and 10.0 rebounds this season (A. Davis, R.

Westbrook, K. Towns, D. Cousins), but the only Eastern Conference player with those numbers. Love has 18 20-10 games this season. He has pulled down at least 10 rebounds on 34 occasions, including 15 boards or more 11 times.

10 RPG & 800 3FGM: Since three-pointers became an official stat in 1979-80, Love is the only player in NBA history to have a career average of at least 10.0 rebounds (11.5 rpg)

and tally 800 or more three-pointers (867). He knocked down his 800th career triple in a win over Memphis on Dec. 13.

6,000 BOARDS: Kevin Love pulled down his 6,000th career rebound against Atlanta on Nov. 8, becoming just the 5th active player to record 6,000 boards and 700 three-pointers

(LeBron James, Paul Pierce, Carmelo Anthony, Dirk Nowitzki).

MOST EVER: Love has an NBA-record 23 career games with at least 25 points, 15 rebounds and three three-pointers, including 4 times this season. That’s more than twice as

many such games as any other player in NBA history (Dirk Nowitzki is second with nine).

FIRST CAV WITH 30 PTS, 15 REBS & 6 3FGM: In a win over Boston on Dec. 29, Kevin Love became the first player in franchise history to record 30 points, 15 rebounds and six

three-pointers in a single game.

LOVE’S NBA-RECORD 34-POINT FIRST QUARTER Against Portland on Nov. 23, Kevin Love poured in 34 points in the first quarter and finished with his highest scoring game as a Cavalier with 40 points on 12-20 (.600) shooting from the field, 8-12 (.667) shooting from beyond the arc, eight rebounds and three assists in 32 minutes. Below is additional information and records he set that night:

Q vs. CHI on 4/11/08).

LOVE SET NBA RECORD FOR POINTS IN THE FIRST QUARTER (34)(Prev. 32 by David

Thompson in 1st Q at DET on 4/9/78).

LOVE TIED FRANCHISE RECORD FOR 3FGM IN A HALF (8)(C.J. Miles also had 8 3FGM in 1st Half vs. PHI on 1/7/14).

LOVE HAD SECOND-MOST POINTS SCORED IN ANY QUARTER IN NBA HISTORY (Klay Thompson holds record with 37 points in 3rd Q vs. SAC on 1/23/15).

ALL-TIME GREAT SHOOTER Kyle Korver, who was acquired by the Cavs on January 7, is one of the top three-point shooters in NBA history. He currently ranks tied for 6th all-time in three-pointers made with 2,031 triples. This season, he is shooting .446 from deep (1st in NBA).

HOT IN CLEVELAND: In 28 games with the Cavs, Korver is shooting .482 (79-164) from deep and averaging 10.9

SIX THREES IN CONSECUTIVE GAMES: Korver nailed six threes against Indiana on Feb. 15 and followed that up

with six more triples versus New York on Feb. 23. It marked the first time in his career he had back-to-back games with at least six three-pointers. He is also the first player in Cavaliers history to make six or more three-pointers in consecutive games off the bench.

LIGHT IT UP: In a win at Indiana on Feb. 8, Korver tied his career high with 8 three-pointers and finished with 29 points and five rebounds in 26 minutes off the bench. By going 8-9

(.889) from deep against the Pacers, Korver had the highest three-point percentage for any Cavs player ever with at least 8 made threes and tied the team’s record for three-pointers off the bench (C.J. Miles-8 on 12/29/12). Korver’s 29 points were also the most he’s scored in a game since Feb. 21, 2007 (31 points vs. NYK).

MR. 2000: During the Cavs’ win over Indiana on Feb. 15, Korver became the 7th player in NBA history to knock down 2,000 career three-pointers with his second triple on the night.
