CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Cleveland Cavaliers entered the season hoping to build on the championship culture they laid -- with LeBron James' assistance, of course -- over the last four years. It was a big reason for their anti-tanking approach.
With six straight losses to open the year, trailing by at least 16 points in each game and never claiming a lead in the second half, it's fair to wonder if that culture is starting to erode.
It's not, according to head coach Tyronn Lue.
"I don't think you define culture off of wins and losses," Lue said.
