The Cavs four-game roadie rolls on, with the second half of their Cali back-to-back slated for Saturday night in Sacramento.
Cleveland has split the first two games on the trip, turning in a strong team performance on Wednesday night in Chicago before falling last night in L.A. – doomed by a 10-point third quarter that spoiled an inspired effort before half. The shorthanded Lakers – playing without LeBron James and Anthony Davis – got a big game from Montrezl Harrell off the bench.
The Kings dropped the Cavaliers to close out a six-game trip and haven’t lost since, winning three straight and five of their last six, including a blowout win over Golden State on Thursday night.
