The Cavaliers will open the new season by refreshing a new rivalry.
The complete NBA schedule will be released today, but a league source has
told the Beacon Journal the Cavs will open at home for the second consecutive
season and face the Washington Wizards on Wednesday, Nov. 1.
The game will be on ESPN, the third time in four years the team's opener is
on national television.
Back in April, the Cavs and Wizards played an exciting first round playoff
series where three games came down to the final seconds. The Cavs ended up
winning the series 4-2 on Damon Jones' jumper with four seconds left in Game
6 at the Verizon Center in Washington, D.C.
Current Team USA players LeBron James and Gilbert Arenas put on an offensive
show in the series. James averaged 35.7 points, had a triple-double in Game 1
and hit game-winning shots in Games 3 and 5. Arenas averaged 34 points and
made a nearly 30-foot shot at the buzzer to force overtime in Game 6.
There is a full slate of nationally-televised games lined up again for the
Cavs as matchups with the Miami Heat, Detroit Pistons, and Los Angeles Lakers
are featured.
Single-game ticket sales will likely start in September.
