The February schedule hasn’t given the shorthanded, and now road-weary, Cavaliers a break – running them into one Playoff-caliber Western Conference squad after another.
J.B. Bickerstaff’s team took another one on the chin on Friday night in Portland – and it doesn’t get any easier to wrap up the roadie.
The Wine & Gold got off to another sluggish start and by the time they found their bearings, the Blazers had opened up a double-digit first-quarter lead. They’d proceed to score 73 points in the first half – cruising home to hand Cleveland its sixth straight loss, a 129-110 on Friday night at the Moda Center.
