If a team is going to be dominant in the NBA, they have to handle the ball well.
Obviously, they cannot win games if they don’t control their possessions with precision and efficiency.
Thankfully for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they are one of the most capable teams when it comes to this.
StatMuse pointed out that they are one of the best teams with turnovers.
They have only had 936 turnovers this season, which puts them in third place behind the Boston Celtics with 861 and the Oklahoma City Thunder with 854.
Unsurprisingly, these three teams are the greatest in the NBA right now.

Turnovers happen, and it’s impossible to avoid all of them, but they can be the difference that makes or breaks a game.
If a team gets carried away with turnovers and commits too many of them, it can completely turn a game around.
The Cavaliers have been one of the best teams on both ends of the court this season.
Their defense has gone up a notch, but their offense has improved too and that’s partly because they are able to travel up and down the court with the ball safely in their control.
The Cavaliers are the top team in the Eastern Conference with a 58-14 record, just 4.5 games ahead of the Boston Celtics.
If these two squads meet in the Eastern Conference Finals like many people predict, it’ll be hard for either of them to force turnovers.
That’ll make for difficult games for them but exciting ones for fans.
