Wrap-Up -- It’s been a common theme through the first few weeks of the season: The Cavaliers hang tough for two or three quarters before being overwhelmed late.

That was the case again on Tobacco Road, as the Wine & Gold fell for the eighth time in their first nine outings – dropping a one-sided, 126-94, decision on Saturday night in Charlotte.

Still attempting to win away from home for the first time this season, Cleveland stayed within striking distance of Charlotte throughout the first half – trailing by only a touchdown at intermission.

"Team is in a very weird place right now," JR Smith said following his return to the rotation in Cleveland's 126-94 loss to the Hornets.
