WATCH: Cavaliers latest group of shooters to help rewrite NBA record books
The Cavaliers can shoot the lights out as they did Tuesday against Orlando
LeBron James made history against the Orlando Magic on Tuesday night, registering his 788th straight game with at least 10 points, moving past Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on the all-time list for consecutive games in double figures.
Later on, the Cavaliers made history as a team, becoming the just the third team in league history to knock down 1,000 3-pointers in a season. The play came in the third quarter, as Kyrie Irving drove to the basket, hung in the air to avoid the defense and kicked it out to a wide open Kevin Love, who calmly knocked down the triple.
