Following Saturday night’s loss in Philly, Coach John Beilein spoke about the Cavaliers brutal slate – taking on one playoff team after another throughout the month of December. And on Monday, they face their second straight Eastern Conference heavyweight – and the second straight squad that hasn’t lost at home: the Boston Celtics.
Cleveland might be best served to have selective amnesia in regards to Saturday night’s blowout in Philadelphia – as the Sixers scored the game’s first 10 points and never looked back, extending their lead to 40-plus before intermission and extending their edge to as high as 53 before calling off the dogs in the Wine & Gold’s sixth straight defeat.
