After a 10-year NBA career that included tours with seven squads and a pair of World Championships, Tyronn Lue’s basketball life led him to that moment where he’d eventually get his first career win as a head coach.
It wasn’t exactly on the NBA’s biggest stage – a Monday night in late January against the Minnesota Timberwolves. But Lue knows that his victory was the first of many to come. And he’s definitely hoping that his final win this season actually does occur on the NBA’s biggest stage.
As the Land Down Under celebrated Matthew Dellavedova’s gutsy Australia Day performance from 9,200 miles away – with Maryborough’s favorite son finishing with 18 points, seven assists, four boards and a steal – the Cavaliers were celebrating their new head coach’s first career win.
