In the Cleveland Cavaliers‘ last game versus the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday, the Wine and Gold were rusty, and mightily struggled for much of it.
They were coming off a nine-day layoff from the All-Star break, sure, and reintegrating Kevin Love and Larry Nance Jr. back into the lineup, but them losing 116-82 was well…far from ideal.
Darius Garland (left groin strain) was not active in that contest, which was obviously to the club’s detriment, given him being invaluable, though.
