CLEVELAND -- The Phoenix Suns, in the midst of their longest road trip of the season, stumbled Sunday in Philadelphia, but they rebounded in a big way Tuesday. The Suns rolled to a 91-78 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers before 13,687 at Quicken Loans Arena. "It was a grind-it-out kind of game," Suns coach Alvin Gentry said. "These guys (the Cavaliers) have played four games in five nights. Obviously, they were very tired, and we wanted to try to push the tempo." That big push came at the end of the third quarter, which Phoenix closed with 14 unanswered points. The Suns (7-8) aren't known as a good defensive team. They came into the game last in the NBA in points allowed and 28th in opponents' field-goal percentage. The Cavs matched their season low in points and field-goal percentage (.357).

Schedule stinks, but Cavs must find a way
CLEVELAND -- The Cavaliers are entering dangerous territory, the kind that can cause a team to lose a grip on the buying public way too soon in a season.
That's not a criticism. It's a harsh reality.
The latest example came Tuesday, a 91-78 embarrassment against a Phoenix team that isn't very good.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have a paltry 3-12 and Tuesday night’s loss to the Suns didn’t make matters any better. The only bright spot has been the Cavs center, who is having a fairly incredible season which is not going unnoticed by his coach.
