C.J. Miles Sets Franchise Record

On the coldest night of the year (Jan. 7), Cavaliers starting shooting guard, C.J. Miles, was absolutely scalding – setting the Cavaliers franchise record with 10 three-pointers, just two shy of the NBA mark.

Miles finished with 34 points, going 10-for-14 from long-distance to go with five boards, two assists and a pair of steals.

The eight-year veteran was white-hot from the first time he touched the ball – canning his first six three-pointers and setting the franchise record for treys in a half. He tied the franchise mark for three-pointers in a game when he hit his eighth bomb with 2:16 to play in the second quarter, went on to score on a traditional three-point play early in the third, then proceeded to hit two more trifectas to wrap up his record-setting night.
