CLEVELAND -- The Cleveland Cavaliers dominated the Brooklyn Nets 107-87 on Thursday, closing out a month that featured all sorts of headline-grabbing off-the-court stories, from subtweets, to a Miami trip, to talk of another LeBron James-led super team, to even a publicized breakup.
And after it all, Kyrie Irving offered a reminder of how he continues to view the Cavs' chances for postseason success.
"Everything surrounding our team is just crazy to think that we're still in first place and we're still the team to beat, honestly," Irving said.
