CLEVELAND (AP) — Donovan Mitchell pounded his hand on the padded scorer’s table, and the All-Star guard lowered his head to cover his face in disbelief.
That, or embarrassment.
The Cavaliers, considered a strong contender to win the Eastern Conference title this season, look anything but one these days.
On Sunday, they came out flat against Charlotte, recovered and forced overtime before missing all 10 shots in the extra session to lose 119-111 to the Hornets, who were without star LaMelo Ball and have been one of the NBA’s worst road teams this season.
