On Monday night, the Cavaliers play the second half of their final back-to-back of the season – welcoming the Pacers to town in the campaign’s penultimate home contest.
The Cavaliers dropped both halves of their recent home-and-home series with Mavericks, including Sunday’s lopsided defeat at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. Luka Doncic got ejected early in the third quarter, hitting Collin Sexton below the belt positioning for a rebound, but Dallas rallied from there – closing the period on a 30-13 run after Sexton’s free throws and cruising home in the fourth. Three Cavalier reserves notched double-figures but Dallas shot 54 percent and nailed 15 threes to send Cleveland to its 10th straight loss.
