Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Kyrie Irving is apparently challenging Kevin Love for outlet-passing supremacy. In the first quarter of the Cavs' 109-97 victory over the Indiana Pacers on Saturday, Irving rebounded a missed 3-pointer from Chris Copeland and hurled the ball up the court to Shawn Marion in one motion. Marion immediately dunked. It was all rather pretty.
Cleveland appears to be finding its way and finding some balance lately, though it hasn't come against top-tier competition. Irving is a big part of what's happening. He had 24 points, 10 rebounds, five assists, three blocks and just one turnover against the Pacers.
