The Cleveland Cavaliers are a totally different team throughout their 9 game win streak than what they were at the beginning of the season. At 5-7 the Cavaliers had the NBA’s worst defensive rating and it wasn’t even close. The effort was nonexistent, there was no communication, chemistry was a problem, etc. The Cavs were almost painful to watch during that stretch. However, since then the Cavs have totally “flipped the switch”, and it’s something beautiful.
Throughout Cleveland’s NBA-leading nine-game win streak, they have been among the best in the league in many categories. First, offense.
Offensively, the Cavaliers have been nothing short of incredible.
