The Cleveland Cavaliers<\/a> took a step in the right direction with their win over the Charlotte Hornets<\/a>. They\u2019ll get a chance to build on that as they welcome a bad New Orleans Pelicans team to Rocket Arena.<\/p>\n

Cleveland\u2019s offense looked good on Monday. The outside shot was falling, which led to the ball moving around the perimeter in a way that we haven\u2019t seen much this season. The same can\u2019t be said about their defense. They struggled to stop the ball on the perimeter and still have some work to do on that end of the floor.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s see if they can put together a more complete game tonight.<\/p>\n
