The Cavaliers started the season well, with 3 consecutive wins and 4 consecutive wins, so their record has also been in the top eight in the East, just up and down, and after five consecutive wins, they have already occupied a place in the top four in the East.
Not only that, but the Cavaliers' current defensive efficiency is also second in the league, after the Warriors. The Warriors are currently the best team in the league, topping the West. Being able to compare with the Warriors proves that the Cavaliers' performance this season is indeed very powerful, which is also reminiscent of the previous riding battles.
In the past 3 seasons, the Cavaliers and Warriors have suffered a lot of twists and turns, the Cavaliers have plummeted after losing James, becoming a fish belly team, and the Warriors have suffered from injuries, coupled with Durant's departure, they have also become a fish belly team, missing the playoffs for two consecutive years.
However, this season, the Warriors and Cavaliers have ushered in a revival, the Warriors under the leadership of Curry, a blockbuster, became the best team in the league, and the Cavaliers, although there is no James, but they have formed a very competitive lineup, rookie Mobley's performance is also unexpected, so the Cavaliers' record is also in the forefront of the East.
For both the Warriors and cavaliers, they are expected to return to the playoffs this season, and the Warriors are more likely to compete for the championship. Prior to this, the Warriors and Cavaliers had reached the Finals for 4 consecutive years, which is also the youth memory of many people. And now, the knights and warriors are on the rise again.
