After returning from their longest trip of the season, the Wine & Gold complete the second half of their Western Conference back-to-back, welcoming the Jazz to Cleveland on Tuesday.
The first half, last night’s matchup with Memphis, was a sluggish affair – with the shorthanded Cavaliers running out of gas down the stretch after overcoming a 16-point deficit. Still nursing a nagging ankle injury, Collin Sexton was a late scratch and J.B. Bickerstaff’s banged-up squad fell short of the century mark for the eighth straight occasion.
Though it all, Bickerstaff has talked about the need for the Cavaliers to win ugly.
