After running off three straight victories, the Wine & Gold have now dropped their last three, but look to get back in the win column on Sunday night when the injury-depleted Timberwolves – the team they last beat – come to town.
The Cavaliers had a frustrating Saturday night showing against the Thunder – falling behind near the end of the third quarter and never sustaining a rally to get back into it. The Thunder outrebounded the Cavaliers, 52-42, canned seven more free throws, forced 15 turnovers that they converted into 20 points and their bench outscored Cleveland’s reserves, 52-19.
