The Cleveland Cavaliers saw the end to their recent win streak on Monday night, as the Philadelphia 76ers beat them 123-121.
They are hoping to get back on track Wednesday night as they face the Chicago Bulls.
Not only do the Cavaliers want to defeat the Bulls so they can start a fresh winning streak, but they also want to do it because they have beaten the team six straight times.
According to Across the Cavs, there have been three instances of Cleveland winning seven straight against Chicago.
They did it from March of 1975 to October of 1976, April of 1988 to April of 1989, and April of 1998 to March of 2000.
They could do it again on Wednesday.

There is a good chance that the Cavaliers beat the Bulls, mostly because Cleveland is the second seed in the East and Chicago is the ninth.
But that doesn’t mean that the Cavaliers will be able to go on autopilot.
The Bulls have had troubles all season long but they have earned impressive wins lately, including an overtime victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves and a recent win against the Atlanta Hawks.
This is a team that has been considered the underdog many times throughout the season and they always have something to prove – will they prove it against Cleveland?
The good news for the Cavaliers is that they are playing at home and, despite their recent loss, they have been on a hot streak for weeks now.
They have a lot of great momentum and are playing wonderfully together.
Most people agree that they will enter this match as the favorites to score a victory and earn yet another impressive seven-game streak against the Bulls.
