“Like we said before the game, this was one of those games where I was curious to see if we learned from some of our past mistakes and if we have grown as a basketball team and I can say we definitely have. It’s just a matter of now keeping it going but I really love the signs I saw from our guys tonight with the effort from the beginning of the game and we pretty much carried it out throughout the game.”
The Cavaliers are winners of three straight with the victory over the Bobcats. While there is still plenty of room for improvement as a team, they are certainly taking steps in the right direction.
