It was nothing out of the ordinary, as far as our play-calling and flow of the game.Love grew up near Thompson in Lake Oswego, Oregon, but didnt realize how close he came to eclipsing his childhood friends record.I didnt know that was the record, he said. I wasnt really aware of it.Love, who established a Cleveland team record for points in any period, made 11 of 14 field goal attempts, including a career-high eight 3-pointers on 10 attempts in the period. He outscored the Trail Blazers 34-31 during the Cavs 46-point first quarter.?He beat them by himself, Loves teammate?J.R. Smith?told Fox Sports Ohio at halftime.?To hit shots like that in the first quarter -- never seen it.Love missed his only shot in a scoreless second quarter, scored six points in the third and went scoreless again in the fourth.

James career high is 25 in a quarter.IIts great, said James.dddddddddddd I mean, Ive always loved seeing my teammates catch one of those moments right there and just try to keep him in that zone as much as possible. I went over and told him just whatever youre doing, wherever youre at right now, just stay right there. Stay even keel. Whatever youre thinking about right there, just stay there, because were going to keep coming to you.In the first quarter alone on Wednesday, Love matched the most points he has scored in a game since joining Cleveland; he poured in 34 against the Orlando Magic exactly one year ago.Love started the game 7-for-7 (including 6-for-6 from 3), as Cleveland built a 15-point lead in the first 4 minutes, 24 seconds.Every game that we start out, the first play of the games for Kevin, said Cavs coach Tyronn Lue. You know, he made the little step-back jump shot, and then he made his first couple 3s and then we just started looking for him.Cavs guard?Kyrie Irving?offered his take on Loves fast start.In order to aid him, we just tried to get him open; [he] got himself open and [he] made incredible, aggressive moves, Irving said. When Kev is like that, that type of night can happen any night for him.Loves career high for a game is 51 points, which came while playing for the?Timberwolves on March 23, 2012. Loves previous high this season was 27 points.Obviously, we had a huge hot hand, James added. We had a guy that was lightning.Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.? ' ' '
