David Blatt: 'Cleveland Cavaliers defeat was embarrassing'

Cleveland Cavaliers coach David Blatt has described his side's heaviest defeat of the season so far as "embarrassing".

The Cavaliers were beaten 127-98 by the in-form Atlanta Hawks last night, leaving the team with a 14-10 record so far this season.

He told reporters: "That was embarrassing how we played. I apologise for all the good fans that came out here."

The Cavaliers play again tomorrow night when they travel to the Brooklyn Nets.
