Final score: Cavs lose to Pelicans 124-122 despite Kyrie Irving’s 49 points
A big night from Kyrie couldn’t save Cleveland.
Squint your eyes hard enough and you would have thought prime Moses Malone donned a Pelicans jersey for an evening. Or even Anthony Davis.
But on a night when Davis sat due to injury, the Cavs made Terrence Jones look like the best of both players. Jones tied his career-high with 36 points (13-18 from the field) and tacked on 11 rebounds in the Pelicans 124-122 victory over the Cavaliers.
