The league's Two Minute Report showed Cleveland got the benefit of two incorrect no-calls late in its victory against Minnesota.
Donovan Mitchell made the key plays late as Cleveland rallied to beat Minnesota 127-125.
Cleveland has been reviewing World Cup footage as it looks for the cause of a problem with squandered advantages that has carried over from last season.
Cleveland again gave the ball away too often in the fourth quarter. A team voice said there are no excuses and that the problem is being worked on.
Donovan Mitchell scored 22 points and Jarrett Allen added 21 as Cleveland beat Brooklyn 125-121 on Saturday night in its first home game of the season.
Brooklyn needed more production beyond Julius Randle and Michael Porter Jr. Egor Dëmin contributed, but it came too late to change the result.
Cleveland gave up a 29-point advantage in its season opener, and the team says it will learn from the collapse and improve.
Mario Hezonja waved Donovan Mitchell off a mismatch situation, an example of why Cleveland signed him. His message was that he is there to help.
