After a 103-84 loss to the Sacramento Kings on Sunday, marking the Cleveland Cavaliers’ fifth straight defeat and their ninth in their past 11 games, Cavs coach David Blatt admitted his team has fallen on tough times.

“We’re going through a lot of stuff, honestly,” Blatt said after the Kings led by as many as 27 and represented the fourth sub-.500 team to beat the Cavs during their current slump. “We’re going through a lot of trials and tribulations, a lot of changes. A lot of adjustments on the fly. Sometimes that catches up with you a little bit. Tonight was not a step forward.”

Perhaps more disconcerting is the fact that Sunday’s loss dropped their record to just 1-8 without LeBron James in the lineup.
