Cavaliers keep momentum to build lead over Bucks; three takeaways from 116-97 win

2. Spread the wealth

The Cavs did a great job of sharing the ball and spreading the wealth.

Cleveland had six guys in double-figures. LeBron James led the way with 24 points and eight assists, while Kevin Love had his second double-double in as many games with 17 points and 12 rebounds. Kyle Korver also had 17 points while Jae Crowder had 14. Rounding out Cavs players in double-figures were Derrick Rose and Jeff Green with 12 and 10 points, respectively.

With so many guys involved, the Cavs shot 44-for-81 from the field, and also had 25 team assists. In the second half alone, the Cavs made 23 field goals and had 15 assists.

Head coach Tyronn Lue also did a better job of managing minutes. The 10-man rotation played between 18 and 37 minutes on Friday night. If the Cavs can keep that up throughout the season, it will be huge in keeping guys fresh and preventing injury through the Playoffs.
