4. LeBron James: 12 Assists in Half (Career Best)
One of the keys to helping Love get his 34 points in the first quarter was James, who finished the first quarter with seven assists. He followed that up in the second period by adding five more. That established a new career-best in the area of assists in a single half.
His previous record of 11 had stood for quite a while, coming in the first half of the Cavaliers’ game against the Toronto Raptors on April 20, 2005, during James’ second season.
Potential Records to Watch
In the area of 3-pointers, the Cavaliers continued to extend another record by again reaching double-digits in a game for the 13th game in a row, continuing the best start in NBA history in that category. Wednesday night’s production now gives them 170 3-pointers for the year, an average of 13.08 per game. It’s just below the season record of 13.13 established by Golden State last year.
