Another lineup change, Hughes starting for Gibson, resulted in a win for the Cavaliers, 96-82 in front of a sell out crowd a Quickens Loan Arena. After Monday’s practice, Cavs GM Danny Ferry and Mike Brown had a long meeting with Hughes. Defense was one of the reasons after all why Hughes was signed as a free agent. “It was coach’s decision,†Hughes said of his start. “It’s time to make a push is what I got from it. It’s time to get some W’s on the board, and the starting lineup we put out there, he feels it’s our best opportunity in doing that.â€Â Well I am not convinced of that after only one game. Larry was 2 of 7 for four points but did help with four steals and six assists.Â
