The Cavaliers have posted victories this season that have featured some beautiful basketball. Through the first two games of the homestand, that’s not exactly been the case.
But the operative word is “victory” – and for the seventh time in the Wine and Gold’s last eight games, the squad emerged with the win, taking the 95-93 thriller and improving to 10 games over .500 (29-19) with a Monday night win over New York at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse.
Despite the at-times ugly affair, Cleveland improved to 9-3 during the month of January and is now 10 games above sea level for the first time since the 2017-18 season.
