Cavaliers Tie Franchise Record In Win Over Grizzlies

One element of the Cavaliers’ offense that has remained consistent over their last 14 games is their prowess from three-point range.

According to @CavsNotes on X, Cleveland has made at least 12 three-pointers in each of their last 14 contests, which ties its franchise record from February 8 through March 12, 2019.

During this span, the Wine and Gold rank top-five in the NBA in both three-pointers made per game (15.1, third) and attempted per game (39.1, fourth), while ranking ninth in the league in three-point percentage (38.5%).

On Thursday night, the Cavaliers shot 14-for-35 (40.0%) from behind the arc, with both Donovan Mitchell and Sam Merrill leading the way with three triples apiece. Mitchell also paced the Wine and Gold with 25 points, and tied the team lead with seven assists.

Max Strus and Dean Wade each made a pair of threes, while Darius Garland, Caris LeVert, Georges Niang, and Isaac Okoro all made one triple each.

After being outscored by Memphis 58-51 in the first half, Cleveland significantly outperformed the Grizzlies from deep in the second half. The Wine and Gold outscored Memphis 57-43 in the game’s final 24 minutes, shooting 9-for-22 (40.9%) from three-point range and holding the Grizzlies to a 5-for-18 (27.8%) clip from downtown.

The Cavaliers will conclude a two-game road trip on Saturday night, when they take on the San Antonio Spurs at 8:30 p.m.
