CLEVELAND CAVALIERS

Recap Rewind: The Cavs finished out the regular season with a four game winning streak and were rewarded for the effort with a two seed for the Eastern Conference playoffs. The Cavs sprint to the finish started with an easy home wins over the New Jersey Nets and Atlanta Hawks. A tough road win against the late surging Philadelphia 76ers put the Cavs in great shape as they finished the season at home with a 109-96 win over the Milwaukee Bucks.

Notable News: The Cavs' strong finish bumped them from the five seed to the two seed which greatly improves their playoff outlook. Instead of playing the Heat and then Pistons to get to the Eastern Conference Finals, the Cavs now have the ailing Washington Wizards and then the winner of Toronto vs. New Jersey.

Fast Forward: The Cavs will host the Washington Wizards beginning this weekend.
