Although the Cleveland Cavaliers' home game against the Oklahoma City Thunder was full of twists and turns, fortunately the Cleveland Cavaliers finally won the game.

This is a very commendable thing, because after defeating the Oklahoma City Thunder 118:108, the Cleveland Cavaliers not only once again achieved a high chao momentum of 13 consecutive victories, but also improved their record to 49 wins and 28 losses at this time!

After this game tonight, they still ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference, and the Indiana Pacers, currently ranked third in the Eastern Conference!

The Pacers' current record is 48 wins and 27 losses. With two fewer games than the Cleveland Cavaliers, they lost one less game and won one less game.

However, after the Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Cleveland Cavaliers will be close to a short rest, which is a rare opportunity for the Cleveland Cavaliers to take a break in such a close schedule.

At such a time, the Indiana Pacers will usher in their games one after another. There is no doubt that the game during the period of rest of the Cleveland Cavaliers will become the critical time for the third place in the Eastern Conference!

Because their performance in the first half of the season was too bad, even though the Cleveland Cavaliers have achieved an impressive record of 27 wins and 1 loss since the second half of the season after the All-Star ended, they still have to act according to their faces if they want to rank third in the Eastern Conference!

Although the Cleveland Cavaliers have the upper hand and advantage in the record of playing against the Indiana Pacers this season, if the Indiana people never lose, it will be very difficult for the Cleveland Cavaliers to overtake the Indiana people and become the third in the Eastern Conference.

So after the end of the game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, the pressure on the Cleveland Cavaliers is not easy. Now it is getting closer and closer to the playoffs, and there is not much time left for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Of course they hope to go further in terms of record, but now they are in control.

However, although the Cleveland Cavaliers may not be satisfied after the end of the regular season of this season. However, at least one thing is that the team's running-in level since the beginning of the second half of the season is still very good.

So even if they may not be able to compete for a good position in the playoff rankings, the Cleveland Cavaliers will still become one of the favorites to win the championship!

Because since Wu Dawei's comeback, the Cleveland Cavaliers have been rising all the way. Except for the Miami Heat who lost to the 27-game winning streak, the Cleveland Cavaliers have never lost in the second half of the season. Such a record is enough to make everyone feel crazy!

And although the Cleveland Cavaliers lost to their old enemy Miami Heat in the second half of the season, they ended the Miami people's epic 27 consecutive wins in two weeks!

The so-called perfection is beautiful, and of course the result of this is something that can make people feel satisfied.

Moreover, the record against the league's top players in the second half of the season also made Cleveland fans feel much more at ease about the upcoming playoffs.

However, if possible, of course, the Cleveland Cavaliers still hope to win a better ranking before the playoffs. So after 49 wins and 28 losses, the Cleveland Cavaliers still hope to be able to score a satisfactory result in the remaining 5 games.

Although there are not many games left, the good thing is that the gap between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Indiana Pacers who are ahead of them is not big. It is just a half-win game gap. Unless the Indiana Pacers fail in the next game, the Cleveland Cavaliers still have a great chance.

The Indianaans' record is 48 wins and 27 losses, which means they still have 7 games left. Judging from their last 5 games and 3 wins, it is really difficult to win a complete victory in the next 7 games.

Let’s take a look at the Indiana’s opponents in these 7 games. They are two matches against the Milwaukee Bucks and the Denver Nuggets away, the New York Knicks at home, the Boston Celtics away, the Sacramento Kings at home, and the Memphis Grizzlies away.

Such an opponent's lineup is undoubtedly not an easy schedule for the Indiana Pacers, which have actually declined significantly in the second half of the season.

There are not many opponents that the Indiana people can win in 7 games, because they can be said to be a formal rise this season. They can win strong teams and lose to weak teams. In general, they are still not in a particularly stable state.

On the other hand, the remaining five regular season games of the Cleveland Cavaliers are home against the Philadelphia 76ers, home against the Charlotte Bobcats, away against the Toronto Raptors, away against the Detroit Pistons and away against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Except for one Los Angeles Lakers, the other four opponents are teams that cannot be entered in the top eight in the Eastern Conference. Naturally, compared with the two, the level and strength of the opponents faced by the Cleveland Cavaliers is undoubtedly much easier than the situation faced by the Indiana Pacers.

After defeating the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Cleveland Cavaliers can breathe a little more relief. Moreover, the 13-game winning streak against the Oklahoma City Thunder will also boost the morale of the Cleveland Cavaliers at this time, which is undoubtedly a great signal for the upcoming playoffs.

After the Cleveland Cavaliers defeated a popular team like the Oklahoma City Thunder, many people who were swaying before will gradually become firmer about whether the Cleveland Cavaliers can defend their title successfully this season.

Although more people are still inclined to be the Miami Heat to achieve the domineering career this season, with the terrifying performances of the Cleveland Cavaliers since the return of Wu Dawei in the second half of the season, the Miami Heat, which had previously won 27 consecutive victories, can no longer continue to stand out.

Although Wu Dawei missed too many games this season, he was destined to be unable to win the MVP trophy for the regular season of this season, more people began to believe that perhaps Wu Dawei would defend the MVP trophy in the finals again in June this year!

However, it's only April, and June is still two months away, so it's still a little too early to talk about the championship game. So of course people are more willing to focus on the fierce competition between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Indiana Pacers on the Eastern Conference third place!

Although the Indiana Pacers are still the leading side at the moment, there is no doubt that in the eyes of many people, Wu Dawei and his Cleveland Cavaliers are now more advantageous side.

Because they are not only in full swing, but their advantage in the schedule is also extremely comparable to the Indiana Pacers. Especially during the period when the Cleveland Cavaliers were resting, the back-to-back games played by the Indiana Pacers are more concerned, especially the Cleveland people are more concerned about it.

Because this is almost closely related to the Cleveland Cavaliers. If the Indiana Pacers fail to win the game in one of these two games, the Cleveland Cavaliers will surpass the Indiana Pacers and become the third place in the Eastern Conference.

Both Indiana Pacers' games were against the Milwaukee Bucks, and they were back-to-back in both home and away games. At this time, the Indiana Pacers' physical reserves were not very good, and they would undoubtedly bring them great trouble if they had to play back-to-back games at this time!

Because they are only half a win-win advantage of the Cleveland Cavaliers now, and if they lose even one game in this back-to-back game, they will drop directly to fourth place!

Of course, this is not what the Indiana people want to see. Although even the fourth place is still much better than last season. But after all, they have reached the third place this season, so they naturally hope to end the regular season journey of this season with such an even better ranking!

But now it is obvious that their situation is not very good. The Cleveland Cavaliers are chasing behind them, making the Indiana people have to win the next two games. As for whether they can win back-to-back games in this round, not everyone is optimistic about them!

Perhaps at the beginning of this season, the newly-rise Indiana Pacers guys never thought that when they were against a team like the Milwaukee Bucks, they would be questioned by the outside world.

But all this is caused by pressure, and no one knows what the Indiana Pacers can play under pressure!
