That was especially the case in the first quarter, when the only things missing were disco music, bell-bottom pants and a red, white and blue ball.

After all, the Cavs turned the first 12 minutes at Quicken Loans Arena into the type of 3-point party that has rarely been experienced since the ABA brought us the shot back in the 1970s.

Consider:

* In the first quarter, the Cavs tied an NBA record for threes in a period with 11. And we're not talking about just any old threes here, folks. We're talking about ones that came from deep along the baseline, ones with defenders in their face, and in the case of LeBron James, ones from near mid-court where you could only shake your head and continued to be amazed.

* Just as remarkable is the fact the Cavs missed just two of those threes for a sizzling 84.6 percent. For the quarter, James was 5-for-6, guard Daniel Gibson was 2-for-2 and reserve forward Jamario Moon was 2-for-3.

* James finished 8-for-9 shooting for 23 points in the first. Yes, that was just the first quarter. And in the event you thought the king of Cleveland basketball didn't hold enough records, those 23 points were the most ever by a Cavalier in one quarter.

* By the end of the first, the Cavs held a 46-20 lead on 76 percent shooting. The 46 points tied a franchise record, and kickstarted the Cavs (38-11) to a season-high eighth straight win.

James, who finished with game-highs of 32 points and 11 assists, said the first quarter was all about being in a groove.

"Everything you put up felt like it was going in," he said. "It's a great feeling to be in a zone like that on the basketball court."

  • @pfs113 Kobe holds the record for most 3's by a single player in a game.

  • hahaha u motherfucker lebrick rider! go watch kobe's videos..

  • @zackbillman516 @zackbillman516 Kobe and LeBron have different strengths. LeBron is better at randomly heating up and needing to be a sidekick while Kobe is better at winning championships.
