137 points, the most any team has ever scored in regulation at The Q (prev. Golden State, 132 on 1/18/16).

o 86.7% FROM THE FIELD IN A QUARTER: In a 128-120 home win over Houston on Nov. 1, Cleveland scored 43 points in the fourth quarter, which was three points shy

of their team record for points in a period (46, three occasions). In the final period, the Cavs shot 13-15 (.867) from the field, which was their highest field goal percentage in a quarter since Dec. 15, 1999, when they went 15-17 (.882) in the fourth at New Jersey. (Elias Sports Bureau)

30-POINT DOUBLE-DOUBLES (IRVING/LOVE): According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Kyrie Irving (32 points, 12 assists) and Kevin Love (30 points, 15 rebounds) became just the

fourth duo in Cavs history to post a double-double and score 30 or more points in the same game in a 124-118 win over Boston on Dec. 29. It also happened in 1971 (Walt Wesley and Butch Beard), 1980 in a quadruple-overtime game (Randy Smith and Dave Robisch) and 1991 (Brad Daugherty and Larry Nance).

15 ASSISTS & 15 REBOUNDS WITH 15 POINTS (JAMES/LOVE): In a Jan. 13 win at Sacramento, Kevin Love (15 pts, 18 rebs) and LeBron James (16 pts, 15 asts) became just
