Cavs open season with a W
Hawks 81 Cavaliers 100

Andre Iguodala dunks in-between two Atlanta defenders.

Byron Scott and the new look Cavaliers came out with a bang to open the 2013-2014 season. Cleveland was tenacious on defense from the tip. They held the Hawks to 33 first half points. Coach Scott used an uptempo pace that had Atlanta scrambling. Kevin Love and Anderson Varejao crashed the boards then both delivered great outlet passes to get fastbreaks going.

After halftime, the Cavs came out flat. Hawks outscored them 23-11 in the third quarter. Byron Scott was not happy. Coach Scott ripped into the team following the third quarter buzzer. The Cavs were still up 68-56. "I saw their focus in the third quarter...or the lack of it I should say. This is the NBA and you cannot let up no matter the score." said Scott. Maybe this is the all-in, hard-nosed, winning type of attitude Cav's fans have been waiting for.

Kevin Love had a well rounded game with 20 points, 9 boards and 6 assists.

Six Cavaliers scored in double figures. New stars Iguodala and Love had strong performances. "Iggy" had 22 points and 6 assists. Love had a well rounded game with 20 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists. Dion Waiters came off the bench to chip in 12 points. Next up, we will have the Indianapolis Pacers visiting Saturday night.
