Owner Real Deal Posted March 22, 2012 Author Owner Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 NEWARK, N.J. -- The Cleveland Cavaliers finally got a glimpse of rookies Kyrie Irving and Tristan Thompson hitting on all cylinders. Thompson scored a career-high 27 points, grabbed 12 rebounds and gave Cleveland the lead with a tip-in with 1:11 to play, and Irving added 26 points, seven assists and five rebounds as the Cavaliers snapped a three-game losing streak with a 105-100 victory over the New Jersey Nets on Monday night. The performance was something Cavaliers fans have been anticipating since the club took Irving with the No. 1 overall pick in the draft last June and followed three picks later by grabbing Thompson. "We'll see," Irving said when asked if this might have been the first of many big nights for the rookies. "He played really well tonight. Hopefully, he'll have a lot more nights like this and contribute as well as he did tonight. He played really big for us, especially down the stretch. Him playing well, as long as me and Antwawn (Jamison), if we get all of us on, especially everyone in the starting five, we're dangerous."http://www.cbssports.com/nba/gametracker/recap/NBA_20120319_CLE@NJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
