For those following along, Max Strus left the game for the Cavs in the first quarter and has not returned. He is likely injured though the team has not said. Sam Merrill is starting the second half in his place. – 3:23 PM

#Cavs Donovan Mitchell, who entered the afternoon ranked second in the NBA in steals per game and has been living up to the “Spida” nickname, swiped three more in the first half. – 3:22 PM

The Nets need much more from Spencer Dinwiddie. He attempted 3 shots in the 1st half while Mikal Bridges struggled to get anything going.
Dinwiddie is attempting 7.2 shots per game over his last four appearances. It’s been far too passive given this team’s lack of shot-creation. – 3:17 PM

Half: Cavs 54, Nets 34
Brooklyn shoots 12/36 from the field (33%) and 3/14 from three (21%) with seven assists and 12 turnovers. Cleveland is switching DHOs/P&Rs and Jarrett Allen (four blocks) is altering everything at the rim.
Eye-opening start for several Nets. – 3:11 PM

There are at least a few Clevelanders (besides me) in attendance for Cavs-Nets in Paris. How do I know? In a strong Great Lakes accent, guys are behind me yelling ‘Let’s go Browns’ and ‘FLAC-CO’…I have to agree with them – 3:06 PM

This game is playing out fairly predictably: Nets struggling to generate offense while getting torched by Donovan Mitchell defensively at the POA.
Mitchell has 17 points on 7/10 shooting midway through the 2nd quarter. Brooklyn trails 45-26. – 2:52 PM

Cavs are on a 14-5 run to start the second quarter. Just like that, it’s a 17-point game. Nets are shooting 35% with eight turnovers. – 2:48 PM

Lonnie Walker drains a three to open the second quarter. He was 0/5 from the field in 12 minutes over his last two appearances since returning from injury.
Nets could really use some offensive pop from him. – 2:42 PM

Harry Giles III is in to start the second quarter. He’s out there with Thomas, Smith, Walker and O’Neale. Vaughn said we would see some small-ball lineups today with Sharpe injured. – 2:40 PM

The Nets’ backcourt is just so limited in terms of versatility that it makes finding the right combinations extremely difficult.
Dinwiddie and Thomas are offensive creators but glaring defensive liabilities. Dennis Smith Jr. brings defense but struggles offensively. Mikal… – 2:35 PM

The Nets have not played since Sunday. They should be well rested with a few practices under their belt to help with rhythm.
Cleveland leads 16-4 with 4:24 left in the first quarter. Brooklyn is 2-for-11 from the field.
Donovan Mitchell already has 10 points.
Just wild. – 2:27 PM

Jacque Vaughn needs to call timeout. The Nets are struggling to even get shots off offensively with Mikal Bridges handling the ball.
Far too much standing and watching. This has been ugly. – 2:25 PM

The Nets are 2/9 from the field to start the game. Mikal Bridges and Cam Johnson are 0/5.
The offense is just such a slog. Meanwhile, Donovan Mitchell has eight of Cleveland’s 10 points on 3/5 shooting. – 2:19 PM

More from Jacque Vaughn on Nets’ center rotation with Day’Ron Sharpe sidelined:
“You’ll see us probably play more small ball than we have going into this game. It’s just a natural way for us to react to missing Day’Ron.” – 2:09 PM

One thing to watch: Nets have so many like-sized and switchy defenders. #Cavs have struggled this season — at times — with switch-heavy defenses that take them out of the high pick and roll. They sometimes fall into the ISO-heavy trap. They will need to diversify offense today. – 1:54 PM

The Nets are seen as an ideal spot for Dejounte Murray from his side in potential trade negotiations, per @JakeLFischer.
Makes sense from Murray’s camp given Brooklyn’s need for a lead ball handler. He’s entering the first year of a four-year, $114M contract next season. – 1:38 PM
