After wrapping up one of the most successful West Coast trips in team history, the Cavaliers return home for an MLK Day matchup with the Nets – trailing Brooklyn by only .5 game in the Eastern Conference standings as we’ve crossed the halfway point.
The Cavaliers have shocked the basketball world all season long, and wrapping up a West Coast trip with a 5-1 mark is another entry on the list. Other than a loss to the Warriors on the night of Klay Thompson’s return, Cleveland figured out ways to win in every other stop.
The most recent victory came in the trip finale on Saturday night in Oklahoma City – bouncing back from an 18-point second-half deficit to earn the win.
