The Cavaliers started strong, but the former All-Star starter, Dan Majerle, who is seen as a favorite for Best Sixth Man, went 0-for-4 tonight and only managed to score 1 point with a technical foul free throw from Almon Gilliam. Almon Gilliam played 20 minutes, went 5-for-7 from the field, and 4-for-5 from the line, but got too excited, causing a conflict and was ejected.
The entire Cavaliers team seemed to have a lid on the basket when it came to mid and long-range shots, going 14-for-44! They only managed to score 73 points the entire game!
Although the Cavaliers' defense was solid, limiting opponents to an average of only 88 points per game this season, and tonight allowing the Brooklyn Nets just 91 points, the Brooklyn Nets still defeated the Cavaliers by 18 points.
Zhang Hao recorded the game-high, going 10-for-18 from the field, 5-for-7 from the line, with 25 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 3 blocks, and 3 turnovers.
