Congrats on scoring a C+, Cavs. After falling to Minnesota 109-104 (in a game that wasn’t that close) Sunday, Cleveland barely hung on to beat the Wolves Monday night without Andre Drummond and his soul-crushing parade of post-ups slowing them down. While a lot of really good things happened for the wine and gold last night, the Cavs weren’t without their glaring problems as they hung on to beat one of the NBA’s three worst teams who were playing without their best player.
While Andre Drummond finished with 25/22/4 Sunday it was clear that the dictate to get him post touches is sucking the life out of the Cavs’ offense, as the Cavs offered up a paltry 16 three-pointers to the basketball gods.
