The Cleveland Cavaliers played much better than the score indicated in their last game against the league’s best team, the Golden State Warriors, and tonight they’ll face off against one of the NBA’s up-and-comers in the Sacramento Kings. Coming into this one, the Kings have appeared to turn a corner, as they are currently a respectable 12-11, and have had quite a facelift on the offensive end of the floor.
The Cavaliers have been playing better lately, as they picked up a hard-fought win over the Brooklyn Nets Monday night behind the heroics of recent trade acquisition Alec Burks, and until a patented Golden State fourth quarter outburst (in which they outscored Cleveland 34-19), played well on Wednesday night.
