”I didn’t care, just win,” he said. ”So this game I just circled `Get a win.’ That’s a tough team to play.” – Head Coach Tyronn Lue on the Houston Rockets scoring 120 points on 47.8 percent shooting.

Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Tyronn Lue preached defense before the start of the game, however, this game he didn’t care. Taking on a Houston Rockets squad spearheaded by legendary offensive mind Mike D’Antoni and the ultra-explosive combo guard James Harden, the Cavs head coach knew the tough road ahead of them.

For the first time this season, the Cleveland Cavaliers trailed following the first quarter as the Houston Rockets got off to a 35-29 lead behind 13 points and 7 assists from Harden and scoreless quarter from the King.
