Cleveland Cavaliers' Larry Drew delivers message in 133-98 loss against Pelicans: Chris Fedor's instant analysis

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Less than 24 hours after holding a team meeting to address their ongoing second-half woes, the Cleveland Cavaliers' chances of pulling an upset against the New Orleans Pelicans were derailed by those same problems.

The Pelicans blew out the Cavs 133-98 on Saturday night.

One night earlier, Drew wanted to hear from his team. He gave them a chance to offer up solutions and a majority of players spoke freely.

On Saturday, it was Drew's turn to send a message. He didn't wait until postgame. It wasn't about delivering any kind of speech or having another lengthy conversation.
