The Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Charlotte Hornets, 100-98, at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse on Wednesday evening.

The Cavaliers (7-21) were coming off a 1-2 road trip, and they used a strong first half to take care of a struggling Hornets (13-18) team that couldn’t complete a comeback in the second half. Cleveland went up 29-21 following the first quarter, and they extended their lead to 12 points following a 24-20 second quarter (53-41). Charlotte tried to mount a comeback and while the third quarter ended tied at 23-23, the Hornets went on a scoring run and won the final 12 minutes by a 10-point margin (34-24). That was not enough, however, and Cleveland secured the win. With the win, the Cavaliers improved to 4-10 at home while the Hornets fell to 6-10 on the road.

Cody Zeller had 15 points with nine boards, while Marvin Williams had 10 points, four rebounds and four assists off the bench. One of the biggest disappointments was Devonte’ Graham, who ended with nine points and nine assists, but he made just three of his 16 shots from the field.
