Calderon did a great job at Lori

  • The Cavaliers beat the Toronto Raptors 112-106 to NBA MT Coins win a four-game winning streak. Cavalier agent Larry Drew commented on the excellent performance of defender Jose Calderon after the game.

    "I think he did a good job of opposing Kyle Lowry," Drew said. "Lory is a tough defender and you have to deal with him and you have to create difficulties for him. We know he will always score. But we want him to be in a difficult position. This is what we demand from Jose. I think he is doing a great job." Lori made 2 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal in 2 of 11 shots.

    LeBron James also praised Calderon: "Obviously, his performance tonight is very critical. From the very beginning of the game, he made consecutive hits, and he was very rational in tactical execution. This made him successful. I think He is a very smart player."

    Rodney Hood commented on the game: "I think we have completed the break-in at the right time, especially when George (Hill) returned from injury. We are all at the right time."

    The Cavaliers have regularly removed the main force to replace the backup player in the overall situation, but the Toronto Raptors chased 8 points to 11.00 seconds to recover the points difference to 4 points, the Cavaliers had to replace the main players to ensure victory. James said: "Unless the timer is all set to zero, the game will never end. Young players need to understand this. I know this is difficult to accept. They took a whole game to get a chance, but the other side also has some substitutes. The guy who is up is still trying to score in the final stage and we must give a response."

    In this game, Calderon played 26 minutes, 7 of 11 shots, and scored 19 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. James played for 37 minutes, 8 of 14 shots, 27 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists.
