The Cleveland Cavaliers had a simply stunning campaign last time out, winning 64 out of their 82 regular-season games to cement themselves at the summit of the Eastern Conference. Newly appointed head coach Kenny Atkinson crafted a perfectly balanced lineup that possessed size, speed, and a devastating scoring ability.
Mobley registered a career-high in points per game (18.5), in addition to being a constant pest on the glass and in the paint -- averaging 9.3 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game. This contribution alleviated a huge amount of pressure on Cleveland's starting center, Jarett Allen, while also presenting an opportunity for Mitchell and Garland to concentrate their focus on offense.
