• BUNCH OF BENCH POINTS: On Jan. 9 against New Orleans, the Cavaliers’ bench poured in

75 points, which was their most bench points in a single-game since Feb. 2, 2002 (76 vs. DET). Cleveland topped that mark with a season-high 83 bench points in a triple-overtime game against Brooklyn on 2/13/19, their second-highest total in franchise history.

INSTANT SCORER: Jordan Clarkson is leading the Cavs’ bench this season, averaging a career-high 17.2

points (3rd-best among all NBA reserves), a .832 mark from the foul line, 3.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 27.0 minutes per game.

double-double of the season (5th of career) with 20 points, a career-high 11 rebounds and four assists in 28 minutes off the bench. He became the first Cavs bench player to post 20+ points and 10+ boards in less than 30 minutes since 4/16/14, when Tyler Zeller did it vs. Brooklyn (22 PTS, 11 REB, 26 MIN).

• MOST POINTS BY A RESERVE IN TEAM HISTORY: Against Brooklyn on 2/13/19,

Clarkson tallied a career-high 42 points, including a season-high seven three-point field goals (7-17), eight rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block in 48 minutes. Clarkson’s 42 points were the most by a bench player in franchise history (prev. 37 points by Phil Hubbard on 12/4/84). It was also his first career 40-point performance, as well as the most points scored by a Cavs player in any game this season.

ON THE LINE: So far this season, the Cavs have the 11th-highest free throw percentage in the NBA at .785.

• .900 OR HIGHER: The Cavs have shot at least .900 from the charity stripe on 10 occasions this season, their most in a single season. Their previous

franchise record was 9 such games in 2017-18.

• FIRST TEAM TO DO IT TWICE: The Cavs have recorded only 3 turnovers in a game twice this

season (vs. LAL on 11/21/18 and at POR 1/16/19), becoming the first team since the NBA began compiling team turnovers on box scores in 1970-71 to have 3 turnovers on two or more occasions in a single season. (Elias)

The 71st NBA All-Star Game will take place at Quicken Loans Arena, home of the Cleveland Cavaliers, on Sunday, Feb. 20, 2022. The Cavaliers previously hosted NBA All-Star in 1997, when the NBA celebrated its 50th anniversary, and in 1981. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver made the announcement on Nov. 1 during a press conference at Quicken Loans Arena, where he was joined by Cavaliers Chairman Dan Gilbert, Cavaliers and Quicken Loans Arena CEO Len Komoroski, Cleveland Mayor Frank G. Jackson, Cuyahoga County Executive Armond Budish and U.S. Representative, Eleventh Congressional District of Ohio, Marcia Fudge. “Cleveland is a passionate sports city with a proven track record of hosting large-scale, global events,” said Silver. “We thank Dan Gilbert, Len Komoroski and the civic leaders for their commitment, and we look forward to a weeklong celebration of our game.” With the current, large-scale arena renovations underway that will be completed in advance of NBA All-Star 2022, the game and extended activities in the transformed Quicken Loans Arena will offer fans an enhanced experience. “We are proud to host NBA All-Star weekend in Cleveland in 2022,” said Gilbert. “We have been working with the NBA, the City of Cleveland and Cuyahoga County to deliver this iconic event to Northeast Ohio for the last couple of years. The transformation and new state-of-the-art Quicken Loans Arena was an important factor in the NBA’s decision to choose Cleveland for this exciting classic broadcast across the globe. The world will get to see the modern Cleveland and all of its diversity, innovation and promise for the future.” “Along with the excitement and appreciation for the NBA selecting Cleveland and Quicken Loans Arena to host NBA All-Star 2022, we want to extend a big ‘thanks’ to our local partners at Destination Cleveland and the Greater Cleveland Sports Commission, and our City, County and Civic leaders,” said Komoroski. “Their support and energy to always demonstrate what we as a community do best is at the core of bringing these major events to our city. We have a great partnership that will deliver an experience fitting for the NBA All-Star global spotlight. We thank the NBA for their confidence in this collective group, and we will put forth the focus and commitment to ensure that the players, fans, corporate partners, media and all who visit have an extraordinary experience in Cleveland and at the transformed Q in 2022.” “The City of Cleveland is pleased to host NBA All-Star 2022,” said Mayor Jackson. “Our city is no stranger to hosting successful, large, global events. It is a good opportunity, once again, for visitors to come to Cleveland and experience all we have to offer.” “This is great news for Cleveland and Cuyahoga County,” said Budish. “When we made the decision to invest in the transformation of the Q, we were aiming for exactly this kind of result. I am thrilled to see the NBA All-Star Game coming in 2022 with an expected $100 million economic impact to our region. Once again, our city and county will shine on the national and international stage and our businesses and residents will reap the rewards.” NBA All-Star on-court events will tip off on Friday, Feb. 18 at Quicken Loans Arena with MTN DEW ICE Rising Stars, an annual showcase for top rookies and second-year NBA players. On Feb. 19, State Farm All-Star Saturday Night will feature the Taco Bell Skills Challenge and the Three-Point and Slam Dunk contests.

DENG! CHARGE DEFEAT SWARM ON ADEL’S LATE HEROICS CANTON, OH – Cavaliers’ 2-Way forward Deng Adel drained a 21-foot jumper with 1.1 seconds remaining to lift the Canton Charge (13-23), past the Greensboro Swarm (19-19), 96-94 Wednesday night at the Canton Memorial Civic Center. The victory snaps the current eight game losing streak as well as a four-game losing streak at home. The Charge defense stifled the Swarm offense in the fourth quarter, holding the visitors to 12 points on just 22% shooting. Despite trailing by seven early in the fourth, the Charge scratched-and-clawed to tie the game at 88 with 7:19 remaining on a thunderous Chance Comanche dunk. Trailing 94-91 after a Chealey layup, JaCorey Williams answered on the other end with a contested layup of his own to trim the lead to 94-93. Following a Chealey turnover, Deng Adel forced a foul to earn two free throws. After a split at the line, the game was tied a 94. Another Swarm turnover allowed for Adel to play the hero as he pulled up to knock down the go-ahead jumper with 1.1 seconds remaining. Adel finished with a Charge season-high 18 points on 8-of-16 shooting while grabbing seven rebounds in 36 minutes of action. Sir’Dominic Pointer scored a team-high 20 points with eight rebounds, four assists, three steals and two blocks in 29 productive minutes off of the bench. In his second start of the season, Chance Comanche scored a season-high 19 points and seven rebounds on 9-of-11 shooting. The Charge have a pair of division road games this weekend beginning with a visit to the Erie BayHawks on Friday, February 22nd at 7:00 PM (TV: Facebook Live; RADIO: 99.7 FM).
