Currently, Cleveland is slowly emerging from the crisis. After a series of 3 consecutive defeats, victories against Charlotte (139-132) and New Orleans (141-118) came. The team is in good spirits and the ambitions for the match against New York are enormous. They need to straighten out the situation and get back into the top four teams in the East. They are not far from this goal, only one victory separates them.
There are no significant critical issues in the training. Certainly, the loss of Mobley is a blow to the defense. But, fortunately for the guests, Allen is there. In the center role, he can excel. Hunter will be at power forward. Yes, Mitchell and Garland might struggle, being primarily offensive players. However, at slow speeds and with a well-organized defense, Cleveland can hold its own against a team like New York.
