CLEVELAND, Ohio -- In a gloomy Cavaliers season marred by injuries, inconsistency, losing streaks and lopsided losses, Cedi Osman is starting to become a beacon of hope.
The Cavs lost their sixth straight game, 100-94, against the Miami Heat on Friday. It's the third time Cleveland has lost to Miami this season.
But head coach Larry Drew spoke before the game about not getting caught up in the win-loss record. Doing that will only make this season more mentally challenging than it already is for his players.
In this kind of year, Drew's greatest -- and perhaps only -- reward is seeing positive strides from the youngsters.
