Cavs: Won’t be much to write home about vs. massively short-handed Celtics

At this point, it has been a mixed bag for the Cleveland Cavaliers in their preseason play.

Cleveland had a pretty good outing in a 120-89 win over Argentinean club San Lorenzo de Almagro, where though they started slow, the Cavaliers did end up getting going and had consistent ball and man movement for the final three quarters, and it was nice to see rookie wing Kevin Porter Jr. have a promising preseason debut with 16 points on seven-of-nine shooting (per ESPN).

Cleveland then had a pretty solid performance to build on, at least I would think, in their second preseason game at the Detroit Pistons, where they did build a 19-point lead at one point, but unfortunately had poor play down the stretch, and eventually narrowly lost 109-105.
