Pargo had no trouble getting his shot, though, as he shot 11-19 from the field and 4-8 from three. He also added four assists and five rebounds.” [Jordan Sargent/SB Nation Cleveland]

No Kyrie, but Cavs can give thanks for Pargo
CLEVELAND -- If the Cavaliers have to play without Kyrie Irving for a month, well, this is probably the way to go.

Pargo scored 28 points. He made 11 of 19 shots. He buried some threes from...
