The last two wins of the Cavaliers recent six-game streak came against teams with rosters battling the recent COVID-19 outbreak. On Wednesday night, it was the Wine and Gold’s turn to fight that uphill battle.
Down three starters and several reserves, the shorthanded Cavs saw their six-game run come to a close on Wednesday in Boston – falling behind early but refusing to fold late, dropping the 111-101 decision at the TD Garden.
Already without Evan Mobley and Isaac Okoro – both placed in the league’s health and safety protocol last weekend – the Cavs also recently lost Jarrett Allen, Lamar Stevens, Dylan Windler, Denzel Valentine, Ed Davis and RJ Nembhard.
