Cavs lose their third game in a row, fumbling and bumbling their way to one of the worst losses of the year against Detroit’s G-League squad, 109-105. The Cavs simply couldn’t string together 48 minutes of good team basketball. They played lazy defense in the first quarter giving up 37 points right out of the gate. They ran selfish offense without any decent ball movement from the starters in the first and third quarters, scoring only 22 and 23 points respectively. For the game, the Cavs were outrebounded 44-39 and outassisted 25-24. Let’s dive into it with tonight’s takeaways:
Game balls: Isaiah “Hard Rock” Hartenstein and Matthew Dellavedova
It was the play of Hard Rock and Delly off the bench that sparked the turn around in this game after a disastrous start.
