As currently constructed, the scrappy young Cavaliers have dynamic guards and tall trees. But they’re not going to win many three-point shootouts.
And when the heavyweight Clippers are shooting it from deep like they were on Wednesday night, not many NBA teams of any caliber are going to beat them.
On the night, the Clippers shot a gaudy 59 percent from beyond the arc, going 20-for-34 overall, while the Cavaliers didn’t hit their second triple until the opening moments of the fourth quarter – as L.A. simply wore the Wine & Gold down after intermission, pulling away for the 121-99 decision at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse.
