The Cleveland Cavaliers have finished the regular season with a record of 44-38, securing the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs.
The Cavaliers' success came despite a recent slump, as the team finished with a 22-50 record in their last 50 games. However, the Cavaliers' strong start to the season, which saw them win 22 of their first 30 games, helped them secure a playoff berth.
The Cavaliers' offensive and defensive ratings both ranked in the middle of the league, with the team finishing 26th in offensive efficiency and 20th in defensive efficiency.
The Cavaliers' success was led by All-Star guard Darius Garland, who averaged 21.7 points and 8.6 assists per game. Jarrett Allen also had a strong season, averaging 16.1 points and 10.8 rebounds per game.
The Cavaliers will face the top-seeded Philadelphia 76ers in the first round of the playoffs. The 76ers finished the season with a record of 51-31.
The Cavaliers will be looking to make a deep run in the playoffs after being eliminated in the first round last season.
