The Cavs easily handled Maccabi Tel Aviv in their preseason opener and LeBron James‘ first game back at The Q on Sunday, and the troika of James Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love led the way.

Love is well known for his ability to snatch a rebound and flick a two-handed outlet 70 feet for the score. Ask Kevin Martin, or Corey Brewer about them.
