INDEPENDENCE, Ohio — For all their talent and celebrity, the Cavaliers' "Big 3" can't win an NBA title by themselves.
Not without help from Cleveland's reserves — those other guys.
Although they may not have the catchy nickname of their three famous teammates, Cleveland's two other starters — J.R. Smith and Timofey Mozgov — and the team's supporting cast of bench players have had a huge impact on the Cavaliers' season and are off to a strong start in the playoffs.
While LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love did their usual damage, combining for 69 points in Sunday's 113-100 win over the Boston Celtics, it was Cleveland's backups who came through in Game 1.
