Bickerstaff's men don't want to slow down now. In two most recent matches they recorded victories. In the first one Cleveland managed to beat Chicago (115:92) and then recorded a victory over Minnesota (123:106).
Opponents are unable to break through Cavaliers' defense. We saw it in the match against Chicago. Bulls fought hard, but failed to find a way to beat the Cavaliers. If Cleveland will continue to perform like this, they should be able to fight for a play-off spot.
