FRANCHISE-RECORD 955 3FGM AND COUNTING: The Cavs have already set a franchise single

season record for three-pointers made with 955. This season, they also have franchise records for three-pointers per game, number of games with at least 10 three-pointers, 15 three-pointers and 20 three-pointers.

15 THREES: The Cavs have made at least 15 triples on 24 occasions this season (most in franchise history). Cleveland nailed 15

NBA-RECORD 25 THREE-POINTERS: The Cavs set an NBA regular season record for three-pointers in a single

game, going 25-46 (.543) from deep in their 135-130 win at Atlanta on March 3. It marked the fourth time in team history the Cavs have connected on at least 20 three-pointers in a regular season game, all coming this season. Also in the win at Atlanta, six Cavs players made at least three triples, which had never happened in NBA history prior to that night. Cleveland also holds the all-time playoff record for threes in a game (also 25 vs. ATL on 5/4/16).

FIRST NBA TEAM TO EVER RECORD BACK-TO-BACK GAMES WITH 20 TRIPLES: The Cavs became the

first team in NBA history to have consecutive regular season games with 20 three-pointers or more after knocking down a then franchise record 21 threes against Portland on Nov. 23 and 20 versus Dallas on Nov. 25. 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

2016-17 CAVALIERS NOTES

HIGH Q Cleveland has the 3rd-best home record in the NBA at 28-8 (.778) and is averaging 112.8 points at The Q, which includes 10 contests with 120 points or more. Since March 25, 2014, Cleveland is 80-8 when scoring at least 100 points at The Q (26-4 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 (25.2), LeBron James (26.0) and Kevin Love (19.1) are averaging a combined 70.3 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.
