Defense name of game

Cavs blog by Bob Finnan

One of the most impressive things about their nine-game home winning streak is their defense.

Opposing teams have averaged just 85.6 points in those nine game, along with 41.9 percent shooting from the field. They have held seven of their nine opponents to fewer than 90 points.

They held the potent Toronto Raptors to 83 points - 20 points under their average. They came into the game ranked first in the league in 3-point accuracy, and made just 4 of 16 shots from behind the arc.
