Rockets leading scorers tonight included Tari Easton with 18 off the bench, along with two 14 point performances by Rockets Sengun and Smith.
Cleveland got to a hot start and never took their foot off the gas as they outscore the rockets 37 to 25 in the first. Dean wade contributed 15 points off the bench tonight after coming of his injury, and was a big boost to Cleveland's offense.

However, the Cavaliers impressive offense continued throughout the first half scoring 74 to 48 shooting 57% from the field and a scorching 58% from distance. But the story tonight was on the defensive end as they force 19 turnovers (12 steals along with 4 blocks).
