The Cleveland Cavaliers are ready to hit the reset button in their home opener Saturday against the Brooklyn Nets.
The Cavs suffered a brutal season-opening loss at the 76ers Thursday, blowing a 29-point lead to LeBron James and Co. on the way to a 114-106 defeat. Donovan Mitchell had 32 points and 10 rebounds for Cleveland, which will be ready to get back in front of its home crowd and start over.
The Nets also are looking for their first win after falling 110-103 to the Hornets at home Wednesday. Julius Randle had 33 points, eight rebounds and seven assists in his Brooklyn debut, but he and Michael Porter Jr. (26 points) are going to need some help. No other Nets player reached double digits in the opener.
