Cavs Smash Season Win Mark
Quote:
LeBron James sensed something special about this Cleveland team from the outset. He liked the talent, the chemistry, the vibe.
Months later, his instincts were correct.
These Cavaliers are like no others.
James scored 22 points with 11 assists and made all the right moves in the closing minutes as the too-tough-at-home Cavaliers set a franchise record with their 58th win — and 10th straight — by beating the New Jersey Nets 98-87 on Tuesday night.
“I could tell that we were going to be really good,” James said. “I knew we could make this into something special — and we’ve been able to do that.”
With 11 games left in the regular season, the Cavs already have surpassed the club mark of 57 wins shared by the 1988-89 and 1991-92 teams, when Brad Daugherty, Mark Price and Co. could beat anyone in the Eastern Conference except Michael Jordan’s Chicago Bulls.
Cleveland, which trailed 82-81 with less than four minutes left, also improved to an NBA-best 33-1 at home, 13-1 in March and 18-2 since the all-star break.
