On the other hand, on the Cavaliers side, Garland is absent due to injury, Mobley is in hot shape, and whether the team can withstand the pressure away from home can be said to be both an opportunity and a challenge!
Finally, after four quarters of fighting, with the excellent performance of Allen + Love, the Cavaliers, who were mainly anti-guests, overpowered the Hornets in the first three quarters, and once achieved a 17-point lead.
Despite the final showdown, Rozier + Oubre felt hot and led the Hornets to a wave of counterattack frenzy, successfully turning the situation on the court and overtaking the score.

Rushing to the away game in this game, the Cavaliers will sweep away the slump of the previous game loss, play a multi-point blossoming team attack, and win the game without any danger.
In the case of mobley + Dean Wade and other main forces, each performing its own duties, the two core Arun + Loaf, and the play of the demon Guard Goodwin, are particularly critical!
Allen was very efficient in this game, starting 32 minutes, shooting 60% of the 12-of-20 shooting, and scoring a game-high 29 points, plus 22 rebounds and 2 assists.
Among them, his heroic performance of cutting 13 points in the first quarter not only helped the Cavaliers to open the situation smoothly, but also dominated the offensive and defensive ends of the inner line, and once became a difficult existence for the Hornets to solve!
In addition, as a veteran with both experience and strength, the play of Lofour in this game also played a crucial role.
In this game, Love was full of firepower, and the bench appeared for 24 minutes, shooting 6 three-pointers and delivering 25 points, 9 rebounds and 1 assist.

On the other hand, on the Side of the Hornets, although the team played a tenacious performance of 4 people scoring in double figures in this game, the team failed to withstand the pressure in the last quarter, and finally lost by 1 point, swallowing the game process of 3 consecutive losses, which obviously made it difficult for home fans to accept.
And under the comprehensive performance of Rozier + Oubre, who scored 24+3+4 and 21+9+1+1+1,1+1 in this game, the performance of The three goals of This game, Lamelo Ball+ Hayward, is indeed a bit unsatisfactory!
In this campaign, Lamelo Ball was slightly sluggish, starting 31 minutes, only 15 points + 6 rebounds + 3 assists on 5-of-14 shooting, and there were as many as 6 mistakes in the individual, which buried a lot of great chances to win.
And this game ushered in a comeback, Hayward's state is also to be adjusted, after all, the whole game, Hayward 13 shots only 3 of the feel cold, not to mention, the outside three points is only 5 shots only 1 completely lost the crosshair.
Obviously, for the Hornets, who have lost 3 consecutive games and fallen out of the top eight in the East, considering the team's current momentum and the next schedule, it has to be said that this young Hornets team will also face more challenges and tests!
