Cavaliers struggle as poor shooting sinks Cleveland defense
In Cleveland quarters, some accused Murphy of a wrist slap on Walker but coach Bill Fitch praised Murphy’s hard defensive play in Houston. The Cavs endured a physical game, lacked rebounding, and shot poorly, hitting 15 of 25 free throws in one outing and only 6 of 15 in another as overall field goal accuracy hovered near 39 percent. Tech complained the team was “great except for our lousy shooting” amid tough trips and missed easy looks.
