After a quiet Christmas Day off, the Cavs kick off a three game, year ending road trip tonight in Memphis against the Grizzlies. Last season, the wine & gold swept the season series with the Grizz, but to have a shot this year, they need to come out swinging… or at least defending better than they did in their previous effort against the Chicago Bulls.
The primary bright spot for the Cavs has been the terrific play of Larry Nance, Jr., since he was installed as the team’s point five. Nance scored a season high 20 points in the loss to the Bulls to go with six boards and three steals.
