Tuesday, Dec. 31 at Pacers, Loss 91-76

In the Cavs’ final game of 2013, they did a solid job defensively containing the Pacers. Unfortunately, the vaunted Pacers defense did an even better job at stifling the Cavaliers. Anderson Varejao‘s 14 points were a team high, and he also snagged 11 rebounds for a double double. Meanwhile, the Pacers held Kyrie Irving to only nine field goal attempts all game. The Cavaliers also shot horribly from beyond the arc, only making one 3-pointer in 12 attempts. This loss extended the Cavaliers’ season-high losing streak to six games.
