Recap: Minnesota 127, Cleveland 99 (or, Seasonal Ineffective Disorder)

I feel for LeBron James. He has gone through visible struggles every single January since he’s rejoined this team. In 2015, he went through his infamous two week “Miami Trip” which ended with the team trading for Timo, J.R., and Shump and subsequently turned the season around. In 2016, the Cavs’ post-Christmas swoon got David Blatt fired. In 2017, the Cavs went 4-7 during a three week January stretch that was punctuated by an overtime loss at home to the Kings. Tonight featured one of the worst losses of LeBron James’ career, a game in which he was -39 (a career low) with ten points on just eight shots in 27 minutes.
