Cavs' Lue rues Knicks' rout, 'unacceptable' skid

CLEVELAND -- With the Cleveland Cavaliers' rocky opening to the 2017-18 season looking like growing pains at best and an all-out free fall at worst, Cavs coach Tyronn Lue called his team's latest loss -- a 114-95 rout at the hands of the New York Knicks -- "unacceptable" as their record dropped to 3-4.

"Tonight's loss and the last couple are unacceptable, and the only way we're going to be able to get out of it is to put the work in -- as players, as coaches," Lue said. And we're going to do that.
