The Cleveland Cavaliers have started as well as anyone could have asked for thus far. They’ve beaten the Boston Celtics in their two preseason games, most recently by a score of 113-102. In both games, they’ve essentially led the whole way, and a major factor has been their pace.
Cleveland head coach Tyronn Lue has stressed the importance of playing fast throughout training camp, and I would assume well before that. It’s not that the Cavs are just getting fastbreak points all the time, as they’ve averaged just 11.5 points on the break thus far, per NBA.
