They “own” the West, having the most wins among Eastern Conference teams against Western Conference teams. The Cavs have only four.
They just completed a grueling road trip, beating, in order, the Sacramento Kings, Golden State Warriors and Phoenix Suns despite a injury report that goes on for pages, forcing them to use journeyman wing Ziaire Williams at center (19 points, 10 rebounds vs. the Warriors) and a two-way player as their sixth man (30 points on 8-of-10 shooting from deep vs. the Suns.)
The toughest part of their schedule is basically at an end.
