On Wednesday night, the Cavaliers close out the unofficial end of the first half of the season against the last team they beat at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse – taking on Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks.
The Cavaliers haven’t won on their home floor since a December 23 victory over these same Hawks – a skein that was extended to 12 straight on Sunday night. That particular defeat was not just another L – the Clippers hung the worst home loss on the Cavaliers in franchise history, scoring at least 34 points in each of the first three quarters and holding Cleveland to just 19 points in the fourth, spoiling Andre Drummond’s Cavaliers debut in the 133-92 win.
