Wrap-Up -- The Cavaliers got a desperately needed win on Friday night at The Q – but they sure didn’t make it easy on themselves.
After dropping 11 of their previous 15 games – including their first three meetings this season against Indiana – the Wine & Gold weathered nine fourth-quarter turnovers to hold on for the 115-108 home victory.
Coach Tyronn Lue made a lineup change heading into Friday’s win, but it might have been the one he didn’t make that paid the biggest dividend – choosing not to move JR Smith to the bench after the mercurial guard’s recent struggles.
