Cleveland surged to a 30-20 record with their 11-game winning streak, which has shown a team that has improved greatly since the start of the season. Roster moves - trades for J.R. Smith, Iman Shumpert and Timofey Mozogov - and continually improving team chemistry, thanks to more and more in-game experience together, have the Cavaliers finally looking like they can live up to the lofty expectations casted on them in the offseason.
But there's still much work to be done, and superstar LeBron James led by example Wednesday when he told reporters he would do whatever it takes to help the team win - even that meant coming off the bench.
"It's all about the team and for me being the leader of the team, it doesn't matter. Whatever this team needs in order for us to win, I'll come off the bench. I'm serious. I'll come off the bench," James said after practice, via ESPN. "If it helps our team, that's what it's about, man.
"It's about a team and how we all fit together, how the five guys on the court fit together, how the eight guys or 10 guys on the bench all help the guys that are on the floor and so on and so on. So, sacrifice is the biggest word in team sports, but it's not about saying it. It's about doing it, as well. It's about living it."
Los Angeles, meanwhile, is 33-16 after losing two of their last three games. Their latest defeat came Monday in an upset loss to the Brooklyn Nets, 102-100. For coach Doc Rivers, it's all about finishing the game - something the Clippers, who blew their lead late, didn't do.
