SALT LAKE CITY -- The Cleveland Cavaliers closed out 2017 with four losses in their last five games thanks to a 104-101 defeat at the hands of the Utah Jazz and LeBron James celebrated his 33rd birthday by losing for the seventh straight time in Utah.
"This trip? The trip was trash," James said, summing up the Cavs' winless jaunt against the Golden State Warriors, Sacramento Kings and Jazz. "We went 0-3. It's a trash trip."
The current state of the Cavs caused James some concern, as they've seemingly lost their mojo - looking more like the team that started the season 5-7 than the one that reeled off 18 wins in a 19-game span following that.
