IN THE HEART OF TEXAS
Friday night in Texas starts a home-and-home between the Cavs and Dallas Mavericks. This is the first meeting between the two this season, and their season series wraps-up on Sunday back in Cleveland.
LAST TIME OUT
On Tuesday, Cleveland hung close with the Suns and took them to overtime. Wednesday was a different story, as the Wine & Gold looked gassed and never really got on track against the Portland Trail Blazers. The Cavs cut the lead to 10 in the third, but the Blazers late surge put the game away in the final quarter-plus.
