Boasting separate winning streaks of 16, 15 and 12 games, and with the best record in the Eastern Conference, the dominance of the Cleveland Cavaliers has been one of the biggest surprises in the NBA this season.

All-Stars Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley have propelled the Cavs to one of the best regular season records in franchise history and home court advantage in a potential playoff rematch with the Boston Celtics. The defending champions closed out Cleveland in five games in last season’s Eastern Conference Semifinals and are 2-2 against the Cavs this season.

Now, the team is headed to a showdown this Friday with the Spurs at the Frost Bank Center.

After recent wins against East opponents, the Spurs have reached at least 30 wins for the first time in two seasons. Acting head coach Mitch Johnson recently reflected on the team’s response to a tumultuous season following consecutive wins for the first time since the start of January.

“I think that’s one thing we’ve been very even-keeled on is not playing up or down no matter what is going on in our crazy season that we’ve had,” he explained.
