Channing Frye ran to the corner and swung a pass to Jeff Green, who paused just long enough at the 3-point line that Washington’s Jodie Meeks ran right by him. With no one left between him and the basket, Green took off toward the rim.
The fact it was a pass from Frye that triggered the best dunk of the Cavs' preseason is symbolic. Green's arrival in Cleveland has hastened Frye's exit from the rotation, but the similarities they share run far deeper than a position on a basketball court.
They are survivors of broken hearts. Not the metaphorical kind.
