From Kevin Love’s emergence to the fall of the best bench in the NBA, here are five stats you need to know from the series… 41.1: The Cavaliers’ 3-point percentage Since James returned to Cleveland in 2014, the Cavs have found success giving him the ball and surrounding him with at least three 3-point shooters at all times.

While Neal began the season red-hot with nine goals in his first eight games, it took Lucic a little longer to get settled in with his new surroundings.
