Cavaliers coach J.B. Bickerstaff insisted that there is no reason to panic after his side recorded its fourth successive defeat when they lost 129-124 to the Minnesota Timberwolves on November 14.
 
"Their feeling and need not to disappoint each other, they went out and gave it what they had. That's a testament to this group," Bickerstaff said.
 
"We knew there was going to be a learning curve on how we finish games this year. There's no reason to panic. 
 
"We have a good basketball team in that locker room. If we stay healthy and have our team on the floor, we're going to win a bunch of games this year."
