Objectively, it’s not as if the Cleveland Cavaliers have exactly been wowing anybody lately. That’s not been the case, as following Cleveland’s win over the LaMelo Ball and Gordon Hayward-less Charlotte Hornets last Wednesday, they’ve dropped three in a row.
The Wine and Gold lost to the Golden State Warriors on Thursday by eventually getting worn down it appeared, then lost to the Zach LaVine-less Chicago Bulls on Saturday on the road. From there, they lost in disappointing fashion at the Detroit Pistons on Monday, and despite gradually getting back into it, couldn’t pull that out down the stretch.
