MIAMI: It has not been a good three weeks for the Cavaliers, who have a losing record since Nov. 14 and have fallen out of first place in the East.
There are plenty of reasons why, but ultimately the Cavs are 5-6 in their last 11 games and fumbling at both ends of the floor. They’ve set season lows in scoring in two of the last three games, their defense has fallen apart and they’re still searching for more help around LeBron James.
Without James in the lineup Saturday, they scored just 84 points against the Miami Heat when Kevin Love failed to lead them.
