A lot of people were happy to see the Cavaliers turn things around halfway through the game.
Some fans said the Cavs weren’t performing like champions during the first two quarters but figured things out, got back on track, and pulled off the strong win.
This was a night and day first and second half. The Cavs were turning the ball over and getting dominated on the glass. They ended up winning that rebounding battle and limiting the turnovers. And just great work by the Core Four.

The Cavaliers have now won five games in a row and they have a very busy week ahead of them.
They will take on Brooklyn’s crosstown rivals, the New York Knicks, on Friday night.
After that, it’ll be the Memphis Grizzlies, Orlando Magic, and Boston Celtics.
This could be a very challenging week for the Cavaliers because they are playing against some of the toughest teams in the league.
This win against the Nets puts them in a good position but now they have to keep it up and surge forward.
