CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The look on Max Strus’ face said it all. This wasn’t the night to hold back. No sugarcoating this performance. No excusing it either.
“That was a really bad loss for us,” Strus said following the Cavs’ 118-111 defeat to the floundering and directionless Charlotte Hornets. “We just didn’t play hard. Nobody wanted to play defense tonight. That was our problem. Can’t lose to teams like this at this point in the season.”
