Everybody in the basketball universe knows about the Cavaliers huge Finals rematch with the Warriors set for Christmas Day. But before the Wine and Gold get to that eagerly-anticipated contest, they’ll have to take on the struggling Nets in a Friday night tune-up at The Q.
The Cavs are coming off a midweek back-to-back sweep against the Bucks – dropping them on Tuesday night in Milwaukee before knocking them off the following night at The Q, winning their eighth game in their last nine outings in the process.
The Nets, on the other hand, have lost seven of their last eight – including a 16-point loss to the Warriors on Thursday night.
