Prior to the Cleveland Cavaliers 13-game win streak, they were 5-7. They were a team in disarray, and many of their players did not know their role on the team. After 13 straight victories, most of that has been completely cleared up.
However, even after the win streak, the Cavaliers have yet to beat a top Western Conference team, so their resilience there is still unknown. And, to add onto that, their team is about to have its rotation completed redone as players get healthy. While it was great to see the Cavs dominate some weaker teams, they still have a long road to go before they truly contend with Golden State for the league’s best team.
