Undermanned Cleveland Cavaliers believe they are 'getting close'

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio -- It was Nov. 3, less than two weeks ago, when the Cleveland Cavaliers hit rock bottom.

They had just made a recent coaching change, one general manager Koby Altman believed was best for the immediate and long-term health of the organization. Instead, a few games removed from their first win, the Cavs were blown out by 32 points against the Charlotte Hornets -- the same team that's headed to Quicken Loans Arena on Tuesday night.

What followed was internal friction, which came out in the Spectrum Center visitor's locker room, and a needed get-together in Orlando.
