Last night the Cleveland Cavaliers, once again, proved that they can beat the best teams in the NBA, at least at home. Cleveland is an impressive 14-2 against winning teams, and that count now includes the San Antonio Spurs, who they beat by 14.
But what about against teams who are under .500? They’re just 5-5, and LeBron James knows that’s not acceptable.
“We have to grow up,” James said. “We can’t keep beating Phoenix, Detroit and San Antonio and then lose to sub-par teams.”
James covered Tony Parker, the Western Conference player of the week, for most of the night and Parker struggled, shooting 2-for-7 for four points with four assists and seven turnovers.
