The Wine & Gold return home for a one-game respite – a Wednesday night rematch with the Bulls – before closing out another tough road stretch, a three-games-in-four-nights trip on the other side.
The Cavaliers are coming off a disappointing loss in the Motor City – falling behind by 23 points in the first quarter before rallying back to take the lead in the fourth, only to see the Pistons ice the deal late, with Josh Jackson grabbing his own missed free throw and scoring on a backbreaking layup in the closing moments. The loss put the Cavaliers four full games behind Chicago for the East’s final Play-In spot.
