The Cavaliers have lost the mojo they had before the Break. And it would behoove them to find it fast, with a brutal upcoming schedule that includes a date against a red-hot team in an arena where they haven’t won in over a decade.
Before dealing with what’s ahead, however, the suddenly-cold Wine & Gold struggled again in their second game following the midway break – with the Hawks outscoring them in the final quarter, 31-16, and pulling away for the 100-82 decision on Sunday night in Atlanta.
Cleveland again failed to reach the century mark, struggled from the floor, beyond the arc and at the stripe.
