Cavaliers' Richard Jefferson thrives as fill-in for Kevin Love
Cleveland Cavaliers forward Richard Jefferson made a fill-in start on Wednesday, posting nine points, eight rebounds, two assists, two steals and one 3-pointer in 33 minutes as Cleveland blew out the Golden State Warriors in Game 3.
What It Means:
Jefferson was starting in place of Kevin Love, who hadn't made his way through the concussion protocol, and came through in a crucial Game 3 as the Cavs were down 2-0 to start the series.
He ranked only 76th in the league with a 0.4 nERD in the regular season, but he has been effective in the playoffs, posting a 61.6 Effective Field Goal Percentage and 14.4 Player Efficiency Rating.
