CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Cavaliers beat the New York Knicks Monday night at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, 95-93, with Kevin Love driving the 3 train, Darius Garland showing his star power, Isaac Okoro playing gritty ball and Rajon Rondo having a solid debut to help lead the Cavs to a 95-93 win.Love hit six of his 12 threes, with 20 total points, 11 rebounds, three assists and a steal.
"We needed him to be big for us," head coach J.B. Bickerstaff said."We needed every bucket we could get, especially in that time."Darius Garland had another impressive night, notching his fifth consecutive double-double Monday with 13 points and 12 rebounds. Making his debut for the Cavs during their six-game road trip, Rondo played three games before injuring his hamstring and being sidelined for the next six games. But Monday, Rondo returned to the court and played his first minutes in wine and gold at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse—and made the most of them.
"Our guys have a ton of respect for him," Bickerstaff said."He's serious about his job, he's professional and you can feel it right away and guys respect that. And what I love about him is he's willing to share knowledge." "Isaac can shut down ISOs, catch and shoots...all those things," Bickerstaff said."The way that he can guard is invaluable...but the activity and energy he brings to a game are things our team feeds off of...when he makes those plays he uplifts everybody.""Between him and Dean [Wade], those guys won us the game," Love said."He gets offensive rebounds, he puts a ton of pressure on teams when we're on the break...I think he was great for us tonight...
"It's not about individuals accomplishments for us," head coach J.B. Bickerstaff said after the game.
