Blatt Disappointed in Cavs’ Lethargic Defense
The Cavaliers had their most complete offensive performance of the young season as LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love combined for 86 points en route to a 118-111 win over the New Orleans Pelicans, but it was the Cavs’ defense that left coach David Blatt downtrodden Monday.
“I can honestly tell you I’m a little disappointed in the moments of lethargy that we have on defense,” Blatt said after his team allowed the most points out of any game it has played in its 3-3 start. “And our guys need to understand that if we want to consistently beat great and good teams and very good teams like the one we saw tonight, we cannot afford to sleep for parts of the game or parts of the quarter.”
