Cavs Players and Coaches Serve Up Holiday Smiles

There were dunks and dishes at The Q on Tuesday night….just not the kind fans are used to. Instead of basketballs, dinner rolls were dunked in gravy. And instead of passes being dished out, heaps of mashed potatoes were. Bridges Restaurant inside the arena was transformed into a big cozy dining room, where the Cavs welcomed Cleveland-area families for a traditional Thanksgiving dinner.

Approximately 250 guests from Cleveland Metropolitan School District’s “Project ACT” not only dined in style, but also had some world-class servers. Players Jae Crowder, Channing Frye, Jeff Green, Kyle Korver and Tristan Thompson went table to table handing out everything from turkey and stuffing to veggies and drinks. Head Coach Tyronn Lue and his coaching staff also made the rounds amongst the diners, making sure everyone had full stomachs and big smiles.
