The 2018-19 season is beginning to turn around for the Cleveland Cavaliers and there are three reasons behind their recent success.
This season hasn’t been easy for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Considering all that this team has been through, it’s a miracle they don’t have the worst record in the entire league. It is even crazier that they are actually beginning to play significantly better than they have all season.
In the last four games, the Cavaliers have gone 3-4, making this their best four-game stretch of the entire year. During this run, the Cavs have looked much stronger than they did a few months ago and have shown solid improvement overall.
It is important to note that all three of their wins came against teams that are well below .500. The Phoenix Suns, Memphis Grizzlies and New York Knicks are all a few of the worst teams in the NBA. Still, the Cavaliers should feel proud that they have been handling business.
At the start of the season, the Cavaliers appeared to be doomed. They couldn’t buy a win and their players continued to get injured. To make matters worse, Cleveland’s young prospects were not showing any signs of improvements.
Now, things have completely changed. While it may just be a short stretch, this run by the Cavaliers is important. They are showing us what they are capable of doing in the future. They have shown great resilience to get to this point in the season and still improving.
The team’s recent success is due to a few different reasons. It’s time to break down the three reasons that the Cavaliers are playing better.
