There’s more trouble brewing in Cleveland.
Gordon Hayward drilled a buzzer-beater Wednesday to lift the Utah Jazz to a dramatic 102-100 win over LeBron James and the Cavaliers. The Cavs now are 1-3 to begin the season.
Obviously, it’s only four games. There’s still plenty of time for LeBron and Co. to right the ship and live up to the championship expectations bestowed upon Cleveland when the four-time NBA MVP returned home this past offseason. But the slow start probably wasn’t what Cavs fans had in mind following the reunion, and Wednesday’s loss was a stinger.
Hayward nailed a step-back jumper right in Tristan Thompson’s face as time expired. The EnergySolutions Arena crowd went bonkers as the Jazz improved to 2-3.
Time for the Cavs to panic? Nope.
Time for them to look in the mirror and get it together? Definitely.
