Cleveland Cavaliers: The Cavs struggle to show effort for non-primetime games

Throughout 11 games, the Cleveland Cavaliers have gone an undesirable 5-6. There five wins, however, have come against the Eastern Conference’s best teams while their ugly losses have been against some of the East’s worst teams.

The Hawks, Pacers, and Nets have two things in common this season. For starters, they are all in the bottom five of the Eastern Conference, and they each have a quality win over the Cleveland Cavaliers.

In each of those games and many others, the Cavaliers’ opponent jumped out to a quick lead, usually over ten points and most likely in the first quarter.
