Hawks 99, Cavaliers 93: Cavs rest starters in preseason loss in Atlanta

ATLANTA: Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue still has some decisions to make at the bottom of the Cavs’ roster. Nights like Monday will go a long way in determining who stays and who goes.

To that extent, Kay Felder did nothing to lose what seems to be at least a slight lead in the race for backup point guard.

Felder scored 15 points on a night Lue rested his regular rotation players and Jonathan Holmes scored 15 points off the bench in the Cavs’ 99-93 loss to the Atlanta Hawks. Lue started Felder, Dahntay Jones, Jordan McRae, James Jones and Cory Jefferson while the Hawks played all of their regulars.
