I would have said the Cavs lost as a result of 1) being tired at the end of a west coast road trip, 2) Mitchell being sick, and 3) playing a hot team (the Wolves had won 5 of 6 coming in). But Bickerstaff had a different take. In his opinion the Cavs got "bored of success" after getting out to a 14-point lead and started making bad decisions.
“We built a lead and stopped doing the things that were right and the things that helped us build a lead,” Cavs coach J.B. Bickerstaff said following the loss. “We allowed them to get back in the game by turning the ball over and taking tough forced shots instead of taking what was there. I think it’s part of our growth and understanding that you can’t get bored of success. Tonight, I thought that was evident.”
More "arrogant basketball"?
