Evan Mobley is just an absolutely bonkers defender already. Brings help to stymie Plumlee, force a difficult kickout. Then guards Bridges superbly on the drive to force a very difficult shot. pic.twitter.com/nQXRZiBXXz – 12:35 AM

#Cavs Ricky Rubio on the byproduct of Q4 turnovers: “It was all on me and I take that blame and I take this loss. It’s something that, as a veteran, I have to lead the way and know that if there’s one or two turnovers, the next play you can’t really rush it. I pushed it too much” – 11:25 PM

That wraps things up here for the home opener. #Cavs fall to the Hornets 123-112. A rough start to the fourth quarter with the turnovers really hurt the Cavs. Ended the game with 18 turnovers.
