After a thrilling conclusion of their five-game homestand – completing season sweeps of a pair of Western Conference squads – the Cavs hit the road for six straight, beginning with a Central Division showdown on Tuesday night in Chicago.
The Wine & Gold – now 5-5 under new head coach J.B. Bickerstaff – bounced back from a four-game skein to knock off the Nuggets on Saturday night and dropped the Spurs in overtime for an encore on Sunday. Four Cavaliers notched double-figures for the first time since 1990 as Andre Drummond returned to the lineup with a vengeance, leading both squads in scoring and blocks.
