Continuing to get extended minutes as Jameer Nelson recovers from an injury, MU alum Travis Diener had another solid outing in Saturday's 81-74 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Diener, coming off the bench, had 11 points and four assists in 26 minutes. He went 4-for-6 from the field, including 2-of-4 from 3-point range and added a free throw, helping Orlando's reserves outscore their counterparts from the Cavaliers 40-8. Afterwards, Diener provided a quote from the AP recap:
"That just shows how deep our team is," Diener said. "We've got some guys hurt who play major minutes so this was a chance for us to provide a spark and do something with the time we're given."
Diener is now averaging 5.5 points in eight games while shooting 48.4 percent (15-for-31) from the field, including 47.6 percent (10-for-21) from 3-point range.

I was actually at the game last night and Diener was fantastic. Obviously I went to see LeBron, but everyone left talking about how well Diener played.
