The Cavaliers' frustration hit a breaking point Wednesday night.
The Cavs entered their game against the Charlotte Hornets having already lost four of their past five games. The injuries have piled up. Their grip on a top-six seed in the Eastern Conference has started to slip.
In several games, the Cavs haven't had the same "locked in" style of play that had become one of their calling cards. They haven't put together a full 48 minutes of quality play in nearly two weeks.
And once again, the Cavs watched as a game began to get away from them, unable to halt an opposing scoring run.
