The Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Memphis Grizzlies 142-126 last night in Memphis. With the win, the Cavaliers improved to 50-29, and have officially won 50 games in back to back seasons. The Cavaliers road record improved to 25-15. The win marked the Cavaliers third in a row since losing on March 31 in Los Angeles to the Lakers. 

The Cavaliers 50-29 record is good enough to be in fourth-place in the Eastern Conference, although they are quickly gaining ground on the third-place New York Knicks and currently sit one game behind them with three games to play.

Cavaliers Started Slowly in First Quarter

The Cavaliers got off to an extremely sloppy start, and points were hard to come by. The Grizzlies managed to outscore them 36-24 in the first quarter.

Cavs stars James Harden and Donovan Mitchell did not feature in this game as it was the back-end of a back to back. The Cavaliers were able to pick themselves up off the mat and battled back to outscore the Grizzlies 44-28 to take a 68-64 lead into the halftime break.
