Cleveland Plain Dealer said:

Wally Szczerbiak was surprised to learn the Cavaliers were leading the NBA in 3-point shooting.

Mo Williams led the way Saturday, making six of seven 3-pointers as the Cavs made 10-of-18 (55.6 percent) in the victory over Miami. Cleveland now is shooting 39.3 percent from behind the arc.

"I didn't realize that," said Szczerbiak, who ranks 40th in the league in 3-point shooting at 40.1 percent (57-of-142). "Obviously we've got a lot of guys who can put the ball in the basket. That was Danny Ferry's plan -- to surround LeBron [James] with good 3-point shooters and good overall shooting -- and good players all around."

Williams ranks ninth in the league at 43.7 percent (132-of-302), and Delonte West is tied for 25th at 41.7 percent (75-of-180).

"We have some good shooters on the team," Cavs coach Mike Brown said. "We have guys who know how to pass the ball. This year we've done a nice job of reversing the ball and setting screens to help our teammates out. It's great to be able to knock down the looks we've gotten."

Road warriors: The Cavs head into this week's three road games with a 21-12 mark on the road. One more victory will tie the franchise record for road wins in a season, set by the 1991-92 team.

"Anytime you can get a record, it's a great feeling," Brown said. "If we get it, great. That means we're winning ballgames. If we don't, we've got to figure out why we didn't win."

It looks like Ferry's plan is working so far. Let's see if this system will work at the playoffs.
