Seems like old times

It’s hard to imagine Jason Terry’s first night at sixth man going any better. He torched Cleveland for a game-high 24 points Wednesday, including a 6-for-8 showing from beyond the arc.

Other than his rookie season (1999-2000) in Atlanta, Terry has been primarily a starter in his pro career. But 10 years ago at the University of Arizona he came off the pine.

“It’s something that I used to do in ’97 when we won a championship,” he said. “I relish that role. I love to come in and be that spark.

“When you have a young point guard like Devin Harris, it’s his time now. His time to go out and be a starter, and when I come in, there won’t be a drop off.”
