What happened: Mario Hezonja connected on his first three pointer with the Cleveland Cavaliers as time expired in the opening frame against the Brooklyn Nets. The Cavaliers knocked down 6 of 12 attempts from beyond the arc in the first quarter while holding Brooklyn to 37.0 percent shooting overall and 5 of 14 from deep.

Why it matters: After the Cavaliers completed a one year Mario Hezonja signing, the forward immediately began punishing smaller guard defenders on interior switches in second unit minutes. Adding reliable perimeter shotmaking to that interior mismatch production makes him an essential rotation piece for Cleveland rather than a fringe depth option.
