Today, the Cavaliers challenged the Warriors on the road, and they defeated the Warriors 113-95. In this game, the Cavaliers exerted their strength in the third quarter and completely eliminated the suspense of the game in one fell swoop. Mitchell and Garland combined for 48 points today, Mitchell hit five three-pointers and scored 23 points, and Garland scored 25 points, 3 rebounds and 8 assists. On the other hand, the Warriors' players collectively did not perform well, Curry scored only 11 points on 4-of-14 shooting, and Hield scored only 2 points on 1-of-8 shooting.
The Warriors lost by 19 points in the last game when the two teams met, and today they lost by 18 points, and the two games were won by the Cavaliers by a total of 37 points, which can indeed show the gap between the two teams, and the Warriors are not the opponents of the Cavaliers at all. After today's game, Kerr's evaluation of the Cavaliers was very straightforward, and he bluntly said that seeing the current Cavaliers team is a bit like the feeling he had when he first came to the Warriors. Kerr's words are still very straightforward, as we all know that Kerr coached the Warriors after entering the league, and the Warriors he took over at that time were already a top team in the league, winning the championship in the first year.
So judging from the overall form of the Cavaliers this year, including their current record, they are the team most likely to win the championship this year. Even in comparison to the Celtics, they have a big advantage. At present, they have completely opened the gap between them and the Celtics in terms of record.
Why have the Cavaliers been so tough this season? It all comes down to the fact that they have a very reasonable lineup and that all the people are soldiers. They have two top scorers in the backcourt, with Mitchell and Garland both very talented scorers. And they have a great outside line, but they are also very strong on the inside, Mobley and Allen are both very good defensive interior players in the league, and they are very athletic in height. In the bench lineup, they also have LeVert, Jerome and other bench bandits, they have too many players who can score, and it can be said that they are top in all aspects.
So even if the Celtics face such a Cavaliers, they are not completely sure of winning, because the Celtics are a more inconsistent team than the Cavaliers because they rely too much on the three-point shot. Once the three-point shooting is not accurate, they can easily collapse. And the Cavaliers are a team with both inside and outside, and they are a team with very strong breakthrough ability. So that's why a lot of fans are bullish on them, they look like a more stable team.
