Cayleigh Griffin: Rodney Hood suffered a right foot injury and will not return to tonight’s game.
Jordan Clarkson scored 14 of his 19 points in the fourth quarter, Rodney Hood had 25 and Cleveland stunned Philadelphia 121-112 on Friday night, snapping the 76ers’ perfect home record. Philadelphia entered as the NBA’s lone undefeated team at home at 10-0, while the Cavaliers were 0-8 on the road with the worst overall record in the league at 2-14. “We’re not really going to look at our record and count ourselves out of any game,” coach Larry Drew said. “We knew it was going to be a tough task. We knew we had to be on point on both ends of the floor. I’m just happy our guys played with the effort and energy they did. And it finally paid off.”
Joe Vardon: And that’s it. No more winless NBA teams. Cavs 136, Hawks 124. Rodney Hood, 26 points
So far, the players have bought in to what Lue and the coaching staff are selling. “T Lue has done a great job,” Hood said. “He is just asking us to be ourselves. If we all chip in and just play our game, we will be a really good team.”
The Cavs believe they have plenty of guys who can step up on any given night. “We have a lot of guys on the team who can score,” guard Rodney Hood said. “It’s going to be different guys on different nights who put up numbers. We just have to play the game the right way.”
