A very impressive first half turned into a way-too-close finish at the University of Illinois tonight for the Cavs in their second preseason game.
Dion Waiters was the team’s leading scorer, finishing 7-for-12 from the field for 18 points. He looked much more impressive in this contest, especially in that first half, where he led the way along with fellow rookie Tyler Zeller (10 points on 4 field goal attempts).
Notably, the Cavs bench way out-performed the Bulls second unit throughout this contest. Lots of positives for the team moving forward from this one.

Better. Much better, Dion. 🙂
Did Waiters and Irving switch bodies?
Seems like a lot of DNP for a preseason game.
How nice of Coach to actually let his rookie get game time.
Hopefully Dion will continue to accept what coach Scott tells him to do. Glad to see improvement in this game from a number of players.
Two of those DNP aren’t even on the team anymore. Coaches don’t want to play 18 players and get them all quality minutes. So they let half the borderline players play one game and the other game the others will play.
