Scrappy Young Cavaliers Carving Their Own Way Early This Season
At the quarter mark of the 2021-22 season, it’s OK to go ahead and admit it: Nobody expected the Cavaliers to be where they are 21 games in.
They’ve got a long way to go, but to this point, J.B. Bickerstaff’s feisty young squad has exceeded all expectations – and Monday's one-sided win over Dallas drove that point home. Over the course of the Mavericks’ six-game win streak over Cleveland, they’d won by an average of 21.2 points, including a 42-point drubbing two years ago.
