Cavs Tyronn Lue 'surprised' by early success
Cavs coach said he was 'surprised' by the quick success in his new approach on offense
CLEVELAND—The Cavs Tyronn Lue said when he took over for David Blatt, he wanted to quicken the pace on the offensive side.
That they have.
After losing to the Bulls, 96-83 in Lue’s first game as head coach, the Cavs have reeled off three-straight wins. They have scored 114 points twice and 115 points in the other game. During the three-game streak, the Cavs are outscoring opponents by an average of 12.3 points a game.
Besides averaging 114.3 points, the Cavs are shooting .510 from the field.
What might be more impressive is the fact the Cavs are averaging 28 assists a game.
