Cavs fire Tyronn Lue
The Cleveland Cavaliers have fired coach Tyronn
Lue after a 0-6 start.
The team announced Sunday that Lue was fired and assistant Larry Drew was named interim head coach.
Lue guided the Cavaliers to an NBA title in 2016 — Cleveland’s first pro sports championship since 1964 — and helped the team to four straight Finals.
But in their first season since superstar LeBron James left as a free agent, the Cavaliers are off to their worst start since losing their first seven games in the 1995-96 season.

Defending champion Justin Rose shot 72 and finished third, missing out on a chance to return to No. 1 in the world.
