The Cleveland Cavaliers earned a nice road win against a playoff team tonight, beating the Charlotte Hornets 103-90. It was a fun watch, with the offense turning in an efficient performance: 27 assists, shooting 48.7% FG, and a scorching hot 41.9% from three on 31 attempts. Some fantastic defense was also on display, with the Cavs holding the Hornets to 40.5% FG shooting, and winning the rebound battle 47-38. Here are my key takeaways from the game:
1. Co-MVPs: Taurean Prince and Kevin Love.
WOW, what a performance from Prince. 25 points, 9-13 FG shooting, 6-8 from three, and a team-high +15 plus/minus.
