INDEPENDENCE, OHIO– The mid-season slump. It’s been an annual tradition over the last few years in Cleveland for the Cavaliers.
The latest rough patch is the veteran squad’s second this season. After starting off winning just five of their first 12 games, the Cavs rattled of 18 wins in 19 games, including a 13-game win streak. Now, the Cavs are just 2-8 since Christmas and rank in the bottom of the league in overall offense and defense.
The latest loss came on Monday to the Golden State Warriors, and while the Cavs played well for three quarters, they ran out of gas in the fourth to take the 10-point loss.
