CAVS QUICK FACTS

After a 4-0 series sweep over the Toronto Raptors, the defending NBA Champion Cleveland Cavaliers are back in the Eastern Conference Finals for the third straight season and seventh time overall (1976, 1992, 2007, 2009, 2015, 2016, 2017). During the 2016-17 regular season, Cleveland won three of the four matchups against the Boston Celtics, averaging 122.0 points in the three victories. This is the seventh postseason meeting between the Cavs and Celtics, and just the second time the two teams have met in the conference finals (1976).

The Cavaliers (8-0 in 2017 Playoffs) are the first team in NBA history to start 8-0 in consecutive playoffs. Last year, Cleveland won its first 10 playoff games en route to their first ever NBA title and finished with a 16-5 postseason record. Since Game 5 of the 2016 NBA Finals, the Cavaliers have won a franchise-record 11 straight postseason games. (Elias Sports Bureau)

MILESTONE ALERT: LeBron James (371 STL) is 6 steals shy of passing Michael Jordan (376 STL) for 2nd all-time in NBA Playoff history. James (5,847 PTS) is also 141 points away from passing Jordan (5,987 PTS) as the top scorer in NBA postseason history. Kyrie Irving (65 STL) needs 3 steals to pass Anderson Varejao (67 STL) for the 2nd-most steals in the Cavaliers playoff record book.

Going back to the 2015 postseason, the Cavs hold a 32-4 playoff record against Eastern Conference opponents (15-3 mark on the road over that span).

In the Semifinals win over Toronto, the Cavs won by an average margin of 15.3 points (116.3-101.0) and made at least 13 three-pointers in all four games.

Cleveland is connecting on a franchise-playoff record 114.5 points per game this postseason, the 2nd-most among all 16 playoff teams. The Cavs also lead this year’s postseason in three-pointers per game (14.4) and three-point percentage (.434, 115-265).

LeBron James is averaging a team-high 34.4 points on .557 shooting from the field (.468 3FG%), 9.0 rebounds, 7.1 assists, 2.13 steals and 1.50 blocks in 42.4 minutes. He is the first player in NBA Playoff history to tally at least 275 points, 70 rebounds and 50 assists in a team’s first eight playoff games. His 275 points through eight playoff games are also the most by a player since Michael Jordan in 1992 (291). (Elias Sports Bureau)

LeBron James has scored at least 30 points in six straight playoff games (April 15-May 7), the longest of his postseason career. He is the first player to score 30+ points in six straight playoff games since Kobe Bryant in 2010. In the 4-0 sweep over Toronto in the Semifinals, James became the first player in NBA history to score 35 or more points in every game of a four-game sweep. Against the Raptors, he averaged 36.0 points on .573 (43-75) shooting, including .481 (13-27) from three-point range, .833 (45-54) from the foul line, 8.3 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.0 block in 41.0 minutes. (Elias Sports Bureau)

Kyrie Irving had at least nine assists in three of the four games against Toronto, which includes back-to-back games with at least 20 points and 10 assists for the first time of his NBA career (Games 1 and 2). Over the four-game series versus the Raptors, Irving averaged 22.3 points, 3.0 rebounds, a team-high 8.5 assists and 2.0 steals in 34.3 minutes.

Tristan Thompson has 39 offensive rebounds, the 2nd-most in this year’s playoffs. He is averaging a team-high 10.6 rebounds, including 4.9 on the offensive end. He also pulled down at least 10 boards in six of the eight postseason contests.

Over the last two playoff games, Kyle Korver averaged 16.0 points on .733 (11-15) shooting from the field, including .667 (8-12) from beyond the arc, 4.0 rebounds and 2.0 blocks in 25.0 minutes.

Elias Sports Bureau, Cleveland became the first team in NBA history to start the postseason 8-0 in consecutive years (started 10-0 in last year’s playoffs). The previous mark was 7-0 in back-to-back postseasons by the Minneapolis Lakers in 1949 (7–0) and 1950 (7–0). The Cavs also have six sweeps since the 2015 Playoffs. No team had done that since the league went to seven-game series in all rounds in 2003. The Wine & Gold put up a franchise postseason record 116.3 points against the Raptors. (Elias Sports Bureau)

CLOSERS: Cleveland has won each of its last 12 potential series-clinching playoff games since 2009. That matches the longest such streak in NBA history, set by the Lakers from 2000 to

2004. The Cavs have also won all nine contests when leading a series 3-0. (Elias Sports Bureau)

CAVALIERS PLAYOFF NOTES (CONT.)

BIGGEST HALFTIME COMEBACK IN NBA PLAYOFF HISTORY After trailing 46-72 with 49.5 seconds remaining in the first half of Game 3 of the First Round against Indiana on April 20, Cleveland overcame a 26-point deficit to earn a 119-114 victory and take a 3-0 series advantage. The 26-point comeback is the largest since the Los Angeles Clippers overcame a 27-point second-half deficit in Game 1 of their First Round series against the Memphis Grizzlies on April 29, 2012 (99-98). The Cavaliers trailed by 25 points at halftime (49-74), marking the largest halftime deficit overcome in NBA postseason history (previously 21 by BALT at PHI on 4/13/1948; trailed 20-41; won 66-63).

PLUS-24 ON THE BOARDS: The Cavaliers outrebounded Toronto 49-25 in Game 3 of the Semifinals on May 5. The +24 advantage on the glass was the 2nd-biggest margin in franchise playoff history. The Cavs record is +27 (55-28) in rebounding in Game 3 of the Second Round at Atlanta on May 6, 2016.

FIRST CAVS TRIO WITH 25+ POINTS IN PLAYOFF GAME: For the first time in franchise playoff history, three Cavs players scored 25 or more points (Irving-37, Love-27, James-25) in Game 2 of the First Round against Indiana on April 17, 2017. The last time three teammates had at least 25 points in any NBA playoff game was on 4/27/14 (Harden-28, Parsons-26, Howard-25 for HOU in OT). The last time a trio each scored 25 or more points in an NBA playoff game in regulation was on 6/19/12 (James-25, Wade-25, Chalmers-25 for MIA). Irving (14-24 FG), Love (6-7 FG) and James (11-20 FG) also became the first three teammates to each score at least 25 points while shooting .550 from the field in a playoff game since Indiana did it on 5/4/93 (Reggie Miller, Rik Smits and Detlef Schrempf). (Elias Sports Bureau)

GLASS CLEANER Tristan Thompson has grabbed at least 10 rebounds in six of the eight games in the 2017 Playoffs, averaging a team-best 10.6 boards to go with his 7.8 points (.532 FG%) in 32.7 minutes.

SECOND CHANCE: Thompson pulled down at least four offensive boards in six times and is averaging a team-high 4.9 offensive rebounds per game this postseason.

VS. INDIANA IN OPENING ROND: He averaged 11.0 rebounds against the Pacers in the First Round, notching double-digit boards in all four games.

BOARD WORK: Thompson passed Brad Daugherty (419) for 3rd place in playoff rebounds in Cavs history and also passed Zydrunas Ilgauskas (180) as the franchise’s all-time playoff leader in offensive rebounds against Indiana in Game 2 of the First Round on April 17

KYRIE IN THE POSTSEASON In the 2017 Playoffs, Kyrie Irving is averaging 23.8 points and 5.8 assists and 1.5 steals in 34.3 minutes. He has recorded 20 points or more in 6 games this postseason.

20+ POINTS: Over his playoff career, he has finished with at least 20 points in 31 of 42 career games, including 11 of his last 13 playoff contests.

BACK-TO-BACK 20-10 GAMES: In the first two games of the Semifinals against Toronto, Irving notched consecutive games with at least 20 points and 10 assists. It marked the first time in his NBA career (regular and postseason) he has accomplished that feat. Over the four-game series versus the Raptors, Irving averaged 22.3 points, 3.0 rebounds, 8.5 assists and 2.0 steals in 34.3 minutes.

FIRST ROUND PERFORMANCE: Irving averaged 25.3 points in the First Round against Indiana, which included a 37-point outing in Game 2 on April 17.

SECOND-LEADING SCORER IN CAVS HISTORY: Irving passed Mark Price (818) for 2nd place in franchise playoff scoring with his 19th point against Indiana in Game 2 on April 17.

LOVE’S 27 POINTS AND 7 FGA: Kevin Love recorded his 12th career playoff double-double with 27 points on 6-7 (.857) shooting, a perfect 12-12 clip from the free throw line, 11 rebounds, three assists and a block in 39 minutes in Game 2 of the First Round against Indiana on April 20, 2017. Love became the first Cavs player with 27 or more points and 7 or fewer field goal attempts in a playoff game. In the shot-clock era (since 1954-55 season), no other NBA player had such a playoff game. His .857 FG mark was also tied for his career high in any NBA game (also .857 on 11/7/08 at Sacramento, regular season game).

IN 2017: This postseason, Love is averaging a near double-double with 13.8 points and 9.1 rebounds in 31.3 minutes. He also has two double-doubles and is shooting .405 from the three-point line.

BEST PLAYOFF REBOUNDING EFFORT: Against Indiana on April 23 in Game 4 of the First Round, Love pulled down a postseason career-best 16 rebounds. His previous best was 15 boards at Atlanta in the 2016 Eastern Conference Finals on May 6, 2016.

GOODYEAR, CLEVELAND CAVALIERS ANNOUNCE RELATIONSHIP BUILT ON SHARED PRINCIPLES OF DRIVE, DETERMINATION AND COMMITMENT TO THE COMMUNITY: CLEVELAND, Ohio, May 15, 2017 – The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company and the defending NBA Champion Cleveland Cavaliers today announced a multiyear sponsorship agreement for Goodyear’s iconic Wingfoot logo to appear on Cavaliers player uniforms beginning in the 2017-18 season. The two Ohio-based organizations made the announcement today at Quicken Loans Arena, home of the Cavaliers. The agreement between Goodyear and the Cavs acknowledges and extends the home-state pride of the two organizations and their shared principles of drive, determination and a deep commitment to the community. In addition to the Cavs, Goodyear will collaborate with Turner

Sports, a broadcast partner of the NBA for over thirty years and the official media partner of this agreement, who will bring to life the power of the jersey patch through custom branded content and advertising. Nike will become the NBA’s official uniform supplier beginning with the 2017-18 season. The connection between Goodyear and the Cavs begins with shared roots, but the relationship also is linked to performance on the basketball court. In the 1930s, Goodyear was a founding member of the National Basketball League, a precursor to today’s NBA. The Goodyear Wingfoots won the first NBL title in 1937. The Wingfoots captured the AAU National Championship in 1964 with a team that featured three Olympic Gold Medalists: Richard Davies, Pete McCaffrey, and Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famer Larry Brown. The Cavs famously cemented their own championship legacy with their first NBA title in 2016. The Cavs and Goodyear also announced Monday that the relationship will yield a very special community benefit to schools in Cleveland and Akron. The Cavaliers, in conjunction with Goodyear, are funding $1 million of support to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) programs in the Cleveland Metropolitan School District and Akron Public Schools. Both organizations have a long and deep history of supporting community initiatives in Akron, Cleveland and across northeast Ohio. This funding will expand their reach even further. The Cavs sponsorship adds another global platform to Goodyear’s extensive position in sports sponsorships. The company is the official tire supplier of NASCAR’s top three series, the title sponsor of the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic and an official sponsor of the College Football Playoff and Pro Football Hall of Fame. Its fleet of Goodyear Blimps provide aerial coverage of the biggest sporting events across North America.
