Former Cat Chuck Hayes sets arena record for offensive rebounds

Antawn Jamison, J.J. Hickson, Ryan Hollins and Samardo Samuels played a total of 96 minutes Wednesday night and combined for nine rebounds. Chuck Hayes had that many offensive rebounds in the first quarter alone. It’s no wonder the Houston Rockets beat the Cavaliers, 124-119, at Quicken Loans Arena in the first game following the All-Star break. The Cavs were demolished on the glass 57-37. A big part of that was Hayes, whose 17 rebounds were a season high and whose 12 offensive rebounds were both a career high and an arena record.
