The Cleveland Cavaliers' struggles to begin the season has continued, as Gordon Hayward's game-winning jumper at the buzzer Wednesday sent the Cavs to 1-3. The game-winner gave the Utah Jazz a 102-100 victory, as they move their record to 2-3. The Jazz were lead by Derrick Favors' double-double, with 21 points and 10 rebounds. Both of Utah's victory has come at home, going 0-2 on the road.
LeBron James had 31 points on the night, while Kyrie Iriving had 34 points and 0 assists. Iriving has put up 34 field goal attempts since his last assist. The Cavs as a whole had just 6 assists on the game, which is a franchise-low for a single game.
Kevin Love had just 14 points, as Cleveland lost for the second time in 2 nights. They will finish up this west coast trip Friday night at Denver.
The Cavaliers fell behind by 10 in the 1st half, but a 14-6 run gave them a 3-point lead with 4:43 left in the game. Hayward's game-winning shot was a 2-pointer, with the game tied at 100.
The Cavs' defense has struggled, which was expected, as they allowed the Jazz to shoot 51 percent on the night. This after falling to Portland 101-82 Tuesday night.
Enes Kanter added 18 points for Utah, who will play host to the Dallas Mavericks tomorrow night.
It is the 3rd time that a LeBron James team started 1-3, and both times that team missed the playoffs. Only 5 teams have won an NBA title after starting 1-3, and it hasn't happened since the 1990-91 Chicago Bulls did it. Many expected this to take time in Cleveland, just as it did with the "Big Three" in Miami, which started 9-8 in their first season together. The Cavaliers have another shot to figure things out, visiting the Denver Nuggets Friday night.
