LOOKING BACK AT THE REGULAR SEASON
The team ended the 82-game regular season at 48-34 and finished 4th in the Eastern Conference. Last year, the Cavs’ dreams of playoff glory were dashed in the first round with a 5-game stint against the New York Knicks. This year, the team has worked (through a rolodex of injuries) to get to the playoffs and improve upon that.
WHAT’S NEXT
Hopefully, going onto Round 3, the Eastern Conference Finals. But if you ask any coach or player in any sport ever, the mindset is just one game at a time (plus, the Celtics are quite talented).
