The Cleveland Cavaliers finally had some reason to celebrate on Tuesday, as they won against the Milwaukee Bucks, and are now 5-6 for the season. J.R Smith also got back to his hot-shooting ways on the night, along with Kevin Loveās solid production, which made their fans very happy.
After the final buzzer, the 6-foot-10 big man was being interviewed by Allie Clifton of Fox Sports and was asked to give his thoughts about his performance. Little did he know, Smith was lurking near him and photobombed his Q&A, which prompted him to also give the veteran shooting guard a lot of praise for playing like the āSwishā the team has been accustomed to seeing over the past years.
Smith poured in a season-high 20 points, on 7-of-12 shooting, including five 3-pointers, while adding a rebound and steal across his name. Love, on the other hand, recorded a game-high 32 points and 16 rebounds, to go along with three assists, two steals and one blocked shot.
The Cavs are hoping the two can sustain the momentum, and continue to play strong in their upcoming games. They are heading into a crucial stretch after their next two outings at home, as they are set to play five of six games on the road.
Now with a 5-6 record, the Northeast Ohio team cannot be satisfied with their win on Tuesday, and should find a way to keep on winning, not just to silence their critics, but also to regain the confidence they lost early on in the season.
