CLEVELAND, Ohio – The Cavaliers are a communication major's dream.
They say what's on their mind, to whomever is on their mind, when it's on their mind. And apparently, halftime is when they do their deep thinking.
In the middle of Sunday's 101-97 win over the Indiana Pacers, it was LeBron James telling Kevin Love to shape up. Love deserved it and responded, scoring 19 of his 22 points in the second half and recovering from a lethargic, difficult-to-watch 1-of-6 shooting performance in the first two quarters.
For those keeping track of the Cavs' Knute Rockne moments during this six-game winning streak, it was James Jones who told, well, everyone Friday night at halftime of their win over the Sixers to play better.
