After falling to the Nuggets on Saturday night at The Q, the Wine & Gold now look to salvage their five-game homestand when they host the Pistons on Monday night.
In Saturday’s loss, Denver drilled 19 three-pointers while shooting 55 percent from the floor, 54 percent from long-distance and 87 percent from the stripe. It was not the Cavaliers’ finest defensive effort, and things get even more difficult on Monday – taking on an All-Star frontcourt of Blake Griffin and Andre Drummond while still without the services of Kevin Love (who injured his left hand in the last meeting between these two), Jeff Green (sore lower back) and Tristan Thompson (who sprained his right ankle against Denver and is slated to miss multiple games).
