Cleveland Cavaliers Research Paper

Decent Essays
For the majority of this year, the Cleveland Cavaliers have been viewed as an afterthought.
A large number of analysts and fans felt as if the window for success with this team had closed. Some blame the loss of Kyrie Irving. Others feel as if the Eastern Conference has simply become too strong. The bottom line is, the Cavaliers were written off and deemed hopeless.
Well, with the NBA playoffs right around the corner, the Cavaliers have ramped it up once again. The team has now won 10 of its last 11 games. Furthermore, the team is currently in the midst of a five-game win streak.
This stretch has included two key games.
First, a dominant win over the top-seeded Toronto Raptors. Then, a huge 16-point comeback win versus the Washington Wizards.
