Cavaliers' struggles with ball movement, turnovers becoming a growing concern Author: Jason Lloyd Publication: Akron Beacon Journal
The longer this goes, the more difficult it is becoming to ignore. The Cavaliers did not play particularly well in any game on their recently concluded West Coast trip in large part because they aren't moving the ball and they're turning it over far too frequently. All of these problems are correctable, but for now they are certainly problems. They've had more turnovers than assists in four of their past five games and five of their past seven. They've cracked at least 20 assists in just one of their past nine games and they've slumped to 20th in the league in assists. That is troubling.
It's even more startling when compared to the Golden State Warriors, who played one of their finest games of the season Monday in dismantling the Cavs 126-91. The Warriors average 31.3 assists per game — which matches the Cavs' season-high of 31 assists, which was set in the season opener against the New York Knicks. The Cavs have passed for 30 or more assists six times. The Warriors have done it 27 times in their first 41 games.
Draymond Green had a triple-double, including 11 assists, in Monday's lashing of the Cavs. Steph Curry had 11 assists, Kevin Durant had five, Andre Iguodala had five and David West had three. Add it all up, and it was the fifth time the Warriors have passed for 37 or more assists in a game. The Cavs haven't done it once all season. – CLICK HERE to read full story.
