After a narrow defeat on Monday night in Phoenix, the Wine & Gold’s West Coast roadie rolls on with a stop in the Mile High City for a Wednesday night showdown with Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets.
The Cavaliers should come away somewhat encouraged by Monday’s effort in the Valley of the Sun – bouncing back after an early double-digit deficit and grabbing the late lead – weathering 36 points by Devin Booker and leading by a deuce with 2:26 to play. But Phoenix scored the game’s final eight points to send the Wine and Gold to their fourth straight defeat, sixth in their last seven.
