Russell, Harris lead Nets past winless Cavaliers 102-86
CLEVELAND — Life without LeBron James has been harder so far than the Cleveland Cavaliers hoped.
Cleveland fell to 0-4 after a 102-86 loss to Brooklyn on Wednesday night. D’Angelo Russell scored 18 points, Joe Harris added 16 and the Nets outscored the Cavaliers 38-17 in the third quarter to pull away.
James led the Cavaliers to four straight NBA Finals and a championship in 2016, but the four-time MVP signed with the Los Angeles Lakers in the summer.
