The Cavaliers lost a 111-105 decision to the Blazers on Saturday to set a single-season mark for consecutive losses at 24. Cleveland has now lost 34 of its last 35 games.

"Obviously, words don't mean a whole lot," Byron Scott said. "You don't take a whole lot out of moral victories. But our last week or so, as hard as we've been playing, it's not a matter of if we're going to win, it's when."

The Cavaliers will next play the Mavericks in Dallas.
