Their assists turnover ratio has been exceptional as well, averaging above 3 in these matches which underscores their smart ball handling and playmaking abilities.


Defensively, the Cavaliers have shown some resilience but also areas where improvement is needed. While they managed to keep their opponents under control in terms of points per possession in two out of three past games, there were moments when defensive lapses allowed for higher opponent scoring.
