The NBA season is just getting started, but through four games it is already clear the Cleveland Cavaliers have a vastly superior bench to that of the 2014-2015 season.
Last year, the bench was a weakness of the team, and so far it looks like one of the team’s biggest strengths.
In the 2014-2015 regular season, the Cavaliers bench averaged 23.8 points per game, while opponents’ benches averaged 33.2 points per game against Cleveland.
So far, Cleveland is averaging 36 points per game off the bench, while allowing an average of 28.5 points per game to opponents.
