The Cleveland Cavaliers are absolutely rolling, as they have now won 14 straight games as they continue to make a push to finish with the best record in the NBA

The two Eastern Conference ball clubs have played each other evenly in the NBA's 2024-25 regular season slate of games they have shared the court in to date. Both have had some blowouts, as well, but by and large seem evenly matched so far in the 82-game season.
