Cavaliers Make History: Ty Jerome Shines in Win Over Hornets
Cleveland Ends Losing Skid
The Cleveland Cavaliers ended their 10-game losing streak with a 113-108 victory over the Charlotte Hornets on Monday night. The win was Cleveland's first since December 17.
Ty Jerome led the way for the Cavaliers with 25 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists. Darius Garland added 21 points and 7 assists, and Evan Mobley had 20 points and 12 rebounds.
Jerome's Big Night
Jerome was making his second start of the season and he made the most of his opportunity. He was efficient from the field, shooting 8-of-14, and he also hit 3-of-6 from three-point range.
Jerome's performance was particularly impressive considering that he was playing against one of the best point guards in the league in LaMelo Ball.
Team Effort
The Cavaliers' win was a true team effort. All five starters scored in double figures, and the bench contributed 28 points.
The Cavaliers also played well defensively, holding the Hornets to 43.8% shooting from the field.
Looking Ahead
The Cavaliers will look to build on their win when they host the New York Knicks on Wednesday night.
The Knicks are one of the hottest teams in the league, having won seven of their last eight games.
The Cavaliers will need to play well in order to beat the Knicks, but they have shown that they are capable of playing at a high level when they are healthy.
