.609 (14-23) from the three-point line, 2.6 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.9 steals in 24.4 minutes per game. In the 129-92 win over Serbia in the gold medal game on Sept. 14, the Cavs
guard made all six of his three-point attempts as part of a 10-13 (.769) shooting display on his way to a game-high 26 points and four assists. Irving wasn’t the only player
representing the Cavs in Spain, as Anderson Varejao participated in the event for Brazil and Matthew Dellavedova competed for Australia.
ONE HOT SUMMER: The Cavs went 4-1 in the Samsung NBA Summer League in Las Vegas this past summer. Matthew Dellavedova was one of the key contributors,
appearing in three games and averaging 11.7 points, 4.7 rebounds and a team-high 4.7 assists in 32.0 minutes. Dellavedova’s 4.7 dimes were the 3rd-highest in Las Vegas.

Dec. 26. The only other times that feat was accomplished in Cavaliers history were March, 5, 2008 (LeBron James, 50 points, 10 assists, four steals at NYK) and March 13, 1979
(Campy Russell, 41 points, nine assists, four steals vs. PHX).
Versus the Trail Blazers on Dec. 17, Irving put up his 4 th double-double of 2013-14 with 25 points, 10 assists and zero turnovers, becoming the first Cavalier with those totals since
March 19, 2009 (L. James).
In the Dec. 10 win over the Knicks, he became the first Cavs player since World B. Free on March 29, 1986 (43 points, 11 assists, 0 turnovers) to tally at least 37 points and 11 assists,
while having one or fewer turnovers in a single game. Before Irving, the last NBA player to accomplish that feat was Kobe Bryant on December 29, 2009 (44 points, 11 assists, one
turnover versus Golden State).
In a 127-125 double-overtime win over Philadelphia on Nov. 9, he became the 3rd Cavs player to ever tally 39 points, five rebounds and 12 assists in a single game (LeBron James and
Mark Price).

NBA D-LEAGUE AFFILIATE - CANTON CHARGE
CANTON CHARGE UPDATE: The Canton Charge, the NBA Development League team owned and operated by the Cleveland Cavaliers, had its third straight playoff season in

opponent points per game (101.5) last season. The 2014-15 season tips off on Saturday, November 15 when the Charge hosts the Delaware 76ers at the Canton Memorial Civic
Center. But before the season starts, the Charge will take part in the 2014 NBA Development League Draft on November 1st. For more news on the Canton Charge, head to

CAVALIERS PLAYERS WALK THE RUNWAY: The stars came out on Thursday, October 2 – Frank, Dean, Sammy, and even Marilyn took the stage at Quicken Loans Arena.
But it was the “Little Stars” who really stole the show. The Q transformed into the Sands Casino in Las Vegas, circa 1964, as the Cleveland Cavaliers hosted the annual “Big Shots and
Little Stars” fundraiser. The event benefits Flashes of Hope and The Children’s Tumor Foundation and featured Cleveland-area “Big Shots” and the true “Little Stars” of the evening –
pediatric cancer patients and survivors. The Vegas party-goers were treated to posh accommodations, as well as toe-tapping performances of old favorites such as “Luck be a Lady”
and “New York, New York.” There were even Vegas showgirls adorning the stage. And what Sin City shindig would be complete without some opulent food and cocktails. The
pinnacle of the night was the eye-catching and heart-warming fashion show, featuring the “Big Shots” accompanying their “Little Stars” down the runway. Among the many “Big
Shots” were Cavaliers Majority Owner Dan Gilbert and Vice Chairmen Jeff Cohen and Nate Forbes, the full Cavs team, Lake Erie Monsters players Sami Aittokallio and Paul Carey, and
Cleveland Gladiators Dominic Jones and Chad Schofield; plus several prominent Cleveland business leaders.
FRANCHISE’S PAST AND PRESENT CONVERGE IN AKRON FOR A WORTHY CAUSE:
Fall was in the air on September 22nd as more than 300 golfers teed off
at the renowned Firestone Country Club in Akron for the 29th Annual Cavaliers Youth Fund Golf Classic, presented by Cleveland Clinic, Jani-King and PwC Cleveland. The signature
yearly event brought together the Cavs’ past – with the likes of former general manager, Wayne Embry, and former players Terrell Brandon and Larry Nance – and the franchise’s
present and future – with new head coach, David Blatt, general manager David Griffin and players like Kevin Love and Mike Miller. The Golf Classic is the largest fundraiser each year
for the Cavaliers Youth Fund (CYF), a fund of the Cleveland Foundation. CYF distributes the net proceeds from the event to Cleveland-area organizations supporting children, families
and young adults in the areas of education, health, recreation, employment, entrepreneurship and life skills. Since its inception in 1993, CYF has distributed grants totaling more
than $22 million to deserving organizations benefiting Northeast Ohio. Hitting the links for charity were current Cavs players Matthew Dellavedova, Joe Harris, Alex Kirk, Mike Miller
and Dwight Powell. They were joined by many members of the team’s front office and coaching staff. Plus Legends Jim Chones, Zydrunas Ilgauskus, and Campy Russell took part
along with dozens of other former Cavs players, such as Wally Szczerbiak, Earl Boykins and Trajan Langdon. Blatt and Griffin, along with players Kevin Love and James Jones, were also
out on the greens during the event. Newly-named Canton Charge head coach, Jordi Fernandez, hit the greens, as did Cleveland Gladiators Head Coach Steve Thonn and his players,
Chris Dieker, Dominic Jones, Joe Phinisee and Collin Taylor. After a full day on the fairway, golfers were treated to a reception with Northeast Ohio flair. Local food trucks The Green
Machine, The Mash Box, Swensons, Zydeco Bistro, Mason’s Creamery and Donut Lab provided fun and food. Guests also enjoyed Outback Steakhouse while out on the course during
the day. Another popular feature of the annual Golf Classic – held for the fourth straight year at Firestone – is the silent auction, which gives guests the chance to bid on sports
memorabilia and unique experiences and items, and raises additional funds for CYF to distribute.
