Remember last year’s Cleveland Cavaliers? They finished 22-50 and 13th in the Eastern Conference. Pushovers! In his 2021-22 season preview, palm-reader John Hollinger reviewed their off-season moves and predicted the Cavs to underperform again: 28-54, 13th in the Conference.
Tonight, the New York Knicks (23-24) roll into Cleveland for the second of a back-to-back, and the host ain’t no pushover anymore.
On Saturday, the Cavs (28-19) beat the Thunder 94-87. Cleveland’s finest have won seven of their last 10 and sit fifth in the East.
