The Cavaliers have been rock-solid offensively all season long. But when push has come to shove, they’ve relied on their defense.
That was the case again on Friday night in San Antonio, as the Wine and Gold completely clamped down on the Spurs over the final six minutes of the game, holding on for the 114-109 victory at the AT&T Center to improve to 4-1 on their six-game West Coast roadie.
The Spurs tied the contest at 103-apiece with just over six minutes to play in regulation, but Cleveland proceeded to hold them without a field goal until Keldon Johnson’s runner with 21.
