Merry Christmas Cleveland! 29% shooting! 

But don’t be sad, the AP story points out that Larry Hughes played excellent defense:

“Making his first start since Nov. 14, Hughes had only four points but he played excellent defense and contained Wade, who never got a chance to go off. “

I agree that Dwyane Wade did not dominate, but 22 points, 6 rebounds, and 8 assists isn’t exactly getting shut down. Wade later had this to say about Larry’s defense: “I was just missing shots,” he said. “It wasn’t their defense, it was nothing they did special.”
