Compared with the Celtics, Bucks, 76ers and other teams, the Cleveland Cavaliers, who do not have supergiants, seem to be somewhat forgotten. However, recently, they have played a wave of six consecutive wins, and they have jumped to the second place in the East, which is instantly eye-catching.
The Cavaliers' six-game winning streak was a huge success, with the first victory coming against the former champion Bucks, followed by a win over the Los Angeles Clippers, who have been on a positive footing lately, and a big win over the Sacramento Kings in their last game.
The biggest contributor to this wave of winning streak is the offensive core Mitchell, who is the team's highest scorer in every game, and he also scored 45 points against the Pistons, averaging 28.2 points, 5.4 rebounds, 6.4 assists and 1.9 steals per game this season, which can be called an offensive and defensive integration.
In addition, the Cavaliers' roster structure is also very balanced, with the starting five Tigers averaging double-doubles per game, and Allen and Mobley's interior twin tower combination can cut 15+10 double-double data.
Garland, who averaged 19 points and 5.7 assists per game, became the second core point after Mitchell, and the Cavaliers' lineup of double backcourt + twin towers did not fall behind in terms of interior and outside.
On the bench, the team also has LeVert, who averages 15.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.1 steals per game, and the Cavaliers' overall All-Star + quasi-All-Star + Best Sixth Man lineup is not as star-studded as the Clippers, Bucks and other teams, but it is very reasonable. This season, the Cavaliers, led by Mitchell, are very likely to become the new dark horse in the East and hit the Finals.
