The Cleveland Cavaliers suffered their first defeat of the season at the hands of the Boston Celtics, which was a stinging loss that ended their amazing winning streak.
But the good news for the Cavaliers is that they have a chance at redemption and revenge soon.
The two teams will play again in Cleveland on December 1 and Rafa Hernandez-Brito spoke about why the Cavaliers are in a good position on “Full Court Cleveland”.
He said the Celtics don’t have an answer for Cleveland’s big man Evan Mobley.
As well, he said the Celtics have a lack of depth, which could hurt them.
Finally, Cleveland proved they could respond well under pressure, which suggests they won’t get freaked out easily during the next game if they give up the lead.
Rafa says the #Cavs depth and the Celtics' lack of an answer for Evan Mobley will be big advantages down the road. #LetEmKnow
"December 1st will be another test when the Celtics come back here." 👀

The Celtics had a pretty sizeable lead over the Cavaliers in their last matchup.
It looked like things were going to fall apart for Cleveland but they were able to close the gap and make things close.
In the end, the Celtics won by just three points, partly because the Cavaliers found ways to keep their heads on straight and stay in the game.
That was a promising sign from Cleveland and it could help them in their next battle against Boston.
The Cavaliers obviously have a lot of good things going for them in the next game, including the fact that it’ll be played at home in Cleveland.
They came close last time, but will they get the job done on December 1?
