CLEVELAND (AP) — Although clearly frustrated by his team’s play, Cleveland Cavaliers coach Byron Scott isn’t giving up on the season.
The Cavaliers entered Wednesday night with five consecutive losses, dropping their record to 7-14. Cleveland went 0-3 on a road trip to Minnesota, Detroit and Philadelphia, which are among the worst teams in the NBA. The Cavaliers lost those games by an average of 21.3 points.
Scott, hired in July to replace the fired Mike Brown, changed the starting lineup for Wednesday’s game. Forwards J.J. Hickson and Joey Graham were benched. Anthony Parker was moved from shooting guard to small forward. Antawn Jamison started at the other forward spot while Daniel Gibson started at shooting guard.
