George Hill's 13 points were huge for the Cavaliers, a team that was struggling to find offense from any of their role players not named Kyle Korver. At the end of the game, his shooting percentages (36.3%) was great but with respect to Hill, it was all about how he started the game.

At the end of the first quarter, when the Cavaliers led 32-17, Hill had 8 points and 2 assists. In fact, he had scored or assists on the team's first 9 points - scored 5 and dished out 4.

He doesn't need to have 20-point games. In fact, none of the Cavaliers' supporting cast need that. All of them just need to contribute their bit, which is 10-15 points each game, and LeBron will do the rest. Then, more often than not, they'll find themselves winning games rather than being 1-2 down after 3 games in a series.
