Wrap-Up -- Fresh off two losses in Los Angeles and with a date against the league’s hottest squad set for Thursday, the Cavaliers almost needed to take Tuesday’s matchup in the Valley of the Sun.
They did exactly that, taking care of business in three quarters of efficient basketball – drubbing the Suns, 129-107, to even their mark on the longest roadie of the season at 2-2.
Still playing without Tristan Thompson, Kevin Love, Rodney Hood and Cedi Osman, the Cavaliers continued to tweak the lineup – with Coach Tyronn Lue moving Kyle Korver into the starting lineup in place of JR Smith.
