Cavaliers isolation issues more difficult to solve than third-quarter woes

CHARLOTTE, N.C.: The Cavaliers have a problem right now. Actually they have a few of them. Whether or not they rise to the level of Kelly Olynyk’s issues as he tries navigating through downtown Cleveland in advance of Friday’s game against the Boston Celtics remains to be seen.

The Cavs have been awful lately in third quarters and they’ve had issues rebounding. The old isolation offense keeps creeping back at inopportune times as well. Despite how awful the numbers looked after Wednesday’s 106-97 loss at the Charlotte Hornets, the biggest problems might remain in breaking the isolation habits.
