New Orleans Pelicans prieš Cleveland Cavaliers galutinis rezultatas 77-82 — Jul 15, 2026 | Rezultatas, protokolas ir statistika

Cleveland enters with momentum off a dominant 90–73 win against Miami yesterday, while New Orleans has won two straight but at lower scoring volumes (81–75 versus Phoenix). The Cavaliers' tempo and rebounding—led by the in-form Meleek (28.3 PPG in three Summer League games) and the anchor of Mobley's 8.1 RPG—give them a structural edge in a Summer League environment where depth and pace matter. Meleek's recent explosion, combined with solid contributions from Harden James (19.2 PPG) and Mitchell Donovan (26.0 PPG team-wide), should overwhelm a Pelicans roster that leans heavily on Bufkin's consistency (21.3 PPG) without a true secondary scorer stepping up. New Orleans' two-game win streak does suggest improved defensive discipline, but their 92-point and 95-point outputs in those victories reflect a lower-intensity offensive approach. Home court and momentum favor Cleveland slightly; however, the Pelicans' experience and Bufkin's reliability make this closer than the standings suggest. Expect a grinding first half with defensive intensity, then a second-half swing as the Cavaliers' bench and Meleek's firepower produce separation.
