The Cleveland Cavaliers have a lot of wins over marquee opponents this season.
They’ve taken care of business against teams that are considered among the best in the league, and they’ve also beaten teams that have faced their share of struggles.
This team is built to put up a strong fight, using their combination of depth and star power to help them stay in any game on the schedule.
Cleveland’s mentality was on full display in their most recent win over the San Antonio Spurs, staying mentally tough and finishing the game down the stretch, winning 124-116.
A dub back at home!

This was a strong team win, as six players on the roster had at least 10 points, a sign that they weren’t just propelled by a few stars.
Fans were excited about this win, as the team seems to be clicking ahead of the playoffs, which start in a few short weeks.
WHAT A GOOD DAY FOR THE 216

Jarrett Allen steps up with Mobley out just like Garland did with Mitchell out the other night. Tough win but a good one from the whole squad. This was always gonna be a scrappy matchup with the Pistons on the horizon.

Solid W with all the adversity. I swear, 90% of the haters were only box score watching rather than watching the actual game.

I love this team

From fans saying how much they love the team to calling out that this game was won without Evan Mobley, it’s clear that the fanbase is more amped up about this team than they have been in prior years.
Cleveland is cautiously optimistic that this team can make a deep playoff run, potentially making it to the Eastern Conference Finals, if not the NBA Finals.
They’ve already beaten the Boston Celtics, New York Knicks, and Indiana Pacers this year, so they’re not scared of the other strong teams in the division, which could serve them well in the postseason.
Fans only have to wait a few weeks to see how this team performs when it matters most, but for now, they’re riding the high of winning another close game.
