The Cleveland Cavaliers are the best team in the league this season.
That’s not just at home but also on the road.
As the team’s P.R. department pointed out on X, they’re currently a league-best 13-3 on the road this season.
On top of that, they’ve won every single one of their last five road games by an average of 17.0 points.
During that span, they’ve allowed an average of 112.6 points per game while scoring 129.6 points.
The Cavs will begin a 3-game road trip, starting tonight in Indiana.
Cleveland is an @NBA-best 13-3 on the road this season, winning each of their last 5 road games by 17.0 points (129.6-112.6).

The Cavs will be on the road for the next three games, starting Tuesday night with a rematch tilt with the Indiana Pacers.
That game will pose a major challenge to Kenny Atkinson’s team.
The Pacers were the only team to hold them to fewer than 100 points in a game this season and just the fourth team to beat them overall.
You have to win on the road to be considered a championship contender, and you also must bounce back and get back at the team that beat you the next time you square off with them.
However, that will be easier said than done, as they will most likely be without Ty Jerome, one of their key reserve players.
Jerome missed the previous game with an illness, and he’s currently listed as doubtful with the same condition.
The Cavs also have a rematch with the Oklahoma City Thunder up next, so this will be a crucial stretch to prove that their strong start to the season wasn’t a fluke.
