The Cavaliers’ six-game homestand could not have come quick enough for a young squad that returns home riding a six-game losing streak and could seriously use the home cooking. That run begins when the struggling Blazers roll into Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse on Saturday night.
Cleveland ran into a buzzsaw on Friday night – facing the red-hot Mavericks in the final game of their four-game homestand. After a competitive first quarter, Dallas began to pull away in the second and used a 45-point third to seal the deal. The Cavaliers, who’ve trailed by at least three TDs in the first half of each of their last four outings, allowed 70 points in the paint and surrendered 20 three-pointers on Friday night in Dallas.
