1. LeBron, Rose Continue To Carry Offense- Derrick Rose and LeBron James had great performances offensively tonight, leading the charge for Cleveland. LeBron had 33 points along with six rebounds and eleven assists while Rose added nineteen points in the losing effort. Both guys found their rhythm early and just kept attacking the hole for a good amount of their points. Kevin Love added thirteen points and thirteen rebounds for the team, though he did only shoot 4-12 from the floor.
JR Smith and Dwyane Wade were both struggling again tonight, more specifically Smith. Smith had scored six points in the first half for his third-highest scoring total of the year with a half to go. In the second half, J.R. disappeared. He had no open lanes and no space to shoot, being shut down efficiently by the Indiana defense. As the two-guard problems continue, the Cavs will continue to struggle offensively.
