The Cleveland Cavaliers dropped their second-straight game Thursday evening, this time to the Washington Wizards . As the team adjusts to life without Ricky Rubio, who tore his ACL Tuesday against the Pelicans and is out for the season, there is a silver lining.
Rookie Evan Mobley stepped up in a big way Thursday, bringing a spark to the offense with Rubio and Darius Garland, who remains in COVID-19 protocols, both out—scoring 21 points with five rebounds, three assists, two blocks and a steal.
"We're still trying to find our way with this new group," Bickerstaff said."But I thought these guys competed and gave what they had." Despite their best efforts, the Cavs were outscored in the first three quarters and fought a double digit deficit through the rest of the game. Those efforts didn't pay off, but as Bickerstaff said, the team will continue adjusting after the loss of key players and continue working to get back to their winning ways.
