The Cleveland Cavaliers dropped another home contest on Thursday night, falling 126-113 to the Toronto Raptors at Rocket Arena. In the loss, one of the Cavs' most persistent problems reared its ugly head once again: their uncanny struggles in the second quarter.
Against Toronto, Cleveland was outscored 38-24 in the second frame of action. In the end, that ended up being a big reason for the loss, with the Cavaliers ending up with a +1 margin in the other three quarters of play. And unfortunately, anyone who's been watching this team every game knows that this was far from the only game this team has struggled in this particular area.
