The Cleveland Cavaliers claimed their first victory in Summer League play, defeating the Dallas Mavericks 75-62 yesterday.
As the low score indicates, this was not necessarily a pretty game to watch, but there were a few strong performances to highlight for the Cavs in the win.
Jawad Williams, scoring 18 points and grabbing 9 rebounds. He's played pretty well throughout the Summer League and deserves a spot somewhere on an NBA roster if not in Cleveland.
Tarence Kinsey managed to score 20 points on 2-5 shooting. How? Well, going 16-18 from the free throw line is an effective and efficient way to score. On the flipside, however, Kinsey had 4 turnovers and no assists.
David Harrison probably had his best game of the summer, recording a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds in just under 24 minutes of action.
Meanwhile, neither of the Cavs' 2009 draft picks did much in this game. Christian Eyenga played a team-high 34 minutes but managed just 4 points, 2 rebounds, and 3 turnovers. Danny Green was 0-3 from 3-point range and scored just 4 points.
Former Erie BayHawk Maureece Rice once again saw limited minutes. He went 0-3 from the field with 1 assist and 1 turnover in just over 6 minutes on the court.
The Cavaliers (1-3) wrap up their Summer League schedule today at 4 p.m. against Detroit.
