After dropping a pair on the road, the Wine & Gold return briefly to Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, looking to take advantage of a home stop before heading back out for three more. But it won’t be easy – taking on a Rockets team that likely comes to Cleveland in a bad mood.
The Cavaliers have been struggling over the last month, having now dropped seven straight and 13 of their last 14 – including a lop-sided loss in Boston on Monday night. Cleveland fell behind by double-digits early and fell behind big early in the third quarter – cutting Boston’s 29-point edge in half heading into the final period before the surging Celtics – who still haven’t dropped a home contest – pulled away late.
