NBA 2018-19: 3 Talking Points from the Cleveland Cavaliers' Win Over the Indiana Pacers

#3 Six of the Cavs players scored in double digits

Cleveland Cavaliers

With no Kevin Love and Jordan Clarkson available against the skillful Pacers, the Cavs sure gave them a respectable fight, making the serendipitous tip-in at the end of game look justified.

Osman, Sexton, Hood, Dellavadova, Burks & Larry Nance Jr. all scored in double digits, led by Rodney Hood's 17 points. Nance has now scored in the double-digits in six games this month after posting only four such efforts in October and November.

Everyone on the Cavs roster(except Nwaba) contributed to the scoring cause, giving the Pacers their first loss of December. As an add-on to the Cavaliers performance, this is only the second time the Pacers have held their opponent to under 100 points and lost this season.

"We didn't come ready to play. Cleveland played hungrier than we did," Doug McDermott said. "That's going to happen throughout the course of an NBA season, but you can't dwell on it too long because the next one's coming in less than 24 hours."
