The third time was the charm for Kyrie Irving Saturday night against the 76ers. Irving missed layup at the end of regulation and a short jumper at the end of the first overtime. Uncle Drew got to the hoop with a left-handed layup in the 2nd overtime for a game winner. Cleveland now stands 3-4 with all three wins coming at home.
Starters
Irving went off with 39 points, 12 assists, and 5 rebounds. Oh by the way he got his 6th game winning shot in his career.
Waiters had 24 points, 8 rebounds, and 6 dimes for nice backcourt production.
Anderson had 13 points and 10 rebounds along his nightly hustle.
As expected Gee took over for Earl Clark and Evan Turner went to work scoring 31 points. Not a good first start for Gee replacing Clark.
Thompson had a good offensive game 19 points and 10 rebounds on the night. Thad Young gave him fits scoring 29 points against him.
Bench
Jack had 20 points and 5 dimes off the bench. This what we need from Jack nightly.
Miles was off Saturday going 2-8 from the field on the night.
Not active no back to back games.
Bennett got 9 minutes but he didn’t do much.
I wonder if Zeller has any trade value.
Sims played 13 minutes getting 4 points and 5 rebounds.
Dellavedova got 2 dimes in 6 minutes.
