Dwyane Wade performed brilliantly when the Cleveland Cavaliers face the Indiana Pacers in the preseason game NBA 2017/2018 at Quicken Loans Arena, Cleveland, Friday (6/10/2017) or Saturday (7/10/2017) WIB. Wade scored 20 points in 22 minutes but the Cavaliers lost 102-106 from the Pacers.
The Cavaliers' defeat was due to poor performers in the fourth quarter. The Cavaliers lead 59-48 at halftime and still lead 10 points with six minutes remaining. However, the acquisition of Cavaliers points was even overtaken by the Pacers and eventually swallowed defeat.
Derrick Rose also performed impressively on the first half by packing 15 points and three assists. However, he did not play again in the second half due to an elbow injury.
Jae Crowder added 17 points and six rebounds for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Kevin Love contributed nine points and seven rebounds.
T.J. Leaf led the Pacers with 18 points all printed in the fourth quarter. Domantas Sabonis added 17 points and Victor Oladipo contributed 14 points.
In this fight, the Cavaliers are still without the star LeBron James who has not recovered 100 percent from a left ankle injury. Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue said James had been training with the team, but was not ready to play.
Without James, the Cleveland Cavaliers have not won from two pre-season matches that have been undertaken. Previously, Cavaliers also swallowed a defeat at home to Atlanta Hawks with a score of 93-109. Cavaliers will play the first away game on preseason NBA 2017/2018 by challenging host Washington Wizards on Sunday (8/10/2017)
