The Cleveland Cavaliers have been an inconsistent team all season. They came off one of their most impressive performances in Saturday’s win over the Minnesota Timberwolves, only to follow it up with an unacceptable
loss to the Utah Jazz, a team that had just lost to the Charlotte Hornets at home by 55 points.
The Cavs take on the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday. They’re one of the six teams in the East that the Cavs are looking up to in the standings at the midway point of the season. We’ll see if the Cavaliers can get things headed in the right direction as they start a two-game set in Philadelphia.
