Wrap-Up -- Following their dramatic victory on Tuesday in Indiana, the Cavaliers came out ready to rumble again – taking an early 13-point lead on Wednesday night in Charlotte.
But the shorthanded Cavaliers – who left a lot on the floor in Tuesday’s win – started running out of steam late just before half, with the Hornets scoring 41 points in the third quarter and pulling away in the fourth to hand Cleveland the 110-99 loss at the Spectrum Center.
Some questionable calls put starting center Larry Nance Jr. in hot water late in the second quarter and that seemed to precipitate the Wine & Gold’s pickle.
