The Cleveland Cavaliers face the Utah Jazz on Wednesday at 9:00 PM ET at EnergySolutions Arena, Salt Lake City, UT.
All eyes on the struggling Cavaliers with Lebron James leading the way. Cleveland (1-2) is expected to be in the NBA Finals this season because of the addition of James in the roster.
James has found his groove yet with the system and with new teammates. He had 17 points and eight turnovers in the opening, but he bounced back against the Bulls on Friday with 36 points. Tuesday night, James scored only 11 points in a 4 of 12 shooting against Portland.
While James admitted that it’s a process to keep on winning, Kyrie Irving also failed to make shots in 3 of 17 field goals, producing nine points.
“We have to understand what it takes to win. It’s going to be a long process,” James said. “There’s been a lot of losing basketball around here for a few years.
“It’s like building a car from scratch. I’ve done that before. I hated the process, it got on my nerves. I sent it back to get repainted 100 times. But once it was completely finished I was excited about it.”
Gordon Hayward has been the key for the Jazz. He was 19 of 34 field goals with 51 points and 17 rebounds in the last two games. The Jazz lost to the Clippers, 107-101, on Monday. They gave up 13 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds to Chris Paul.
