CLEVELAND -- The shortest month of the year ended up being the Cleveland Cavaliers’ most successful one of the 2016-17 season thus far, as the Cavs closed out February with a 102-95 win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday.
The win put them at 9-2 in those 28 days. Naturally, it left the Cavs hoping the month, in which they won 81.8 percent of their games (better than their 76.7 percent November or 75 percent December), would keep on going.
“It’s over?” said LeBron James after coming back from strep throat to put up 24 points on 8-for-12 shooting, 10 rebounds and six assists on the Bucks.
