NUMBER 4: The Cavaliers (50-32) finished the 2017-18 regular season with the 4th-best record in the Eastern Conference and went on to the

postseason for the 4th year in a row (22nd overall in franchise history). The Cavaliers also won the Central Division title for the 4th straight year and notched their 4th straight 50-win season.

TOP 10 OFFENSE: The Cavs ranked in the NBA’s Top 10 in offensive rating (110.6, 5th), PPG (110.9, 5th), FG% (.476, 5th), 3FG% (.372, 6th) and FT% (.779, 10th). Their 110.9 points per game was their second-highest scoring average in franchise history (114.1, 1979-80). They topped the 100-point plateau on 66 of 82 games.

• THE CENTURY MARK STREAK: From Nov. 1-Dec. 21, the Cavs scored 100 points or more in 26 straight games, their 2nd-longest streak in team history (36 straight from 1/15/80-3/3/80). From Nov. 1-Jan. 28, the Cavs scored at least 100 points in 20 consecutive home games, their longest streak since 1988-89 (27 straight home games, 11/19/88-3/2/89).

• 110+ & 120+ POINTS: The Cavs had 110+ points on 46 occasions (38-8), including 120 points or more 21 times (19-2). From Feb. 7-13 & from March 19-25, the Cavs scored at least 120 points in a FRANCHISE-RECORD 4 straight games.

• 130+ & 140+ POINTS: Cleveland put up 130+ points 5 times (4-1), including a season-high 140 points in their overtime win over Minnesota on Feb. 7. That was the most points the Cavs have ever scored at The Q (prev. 137, 11/23/16 vs. POR).

• 30 ASSISTS: Cleveland dished out at least 30 assists on 7 occasions this past season, including 3 straight games from Dec. 14-17. That was their longest since March 8-16, 1993 (4 straight). (Elias Sports Bureau)

• 50 PERCENT: The Cavs shot at least .500 from the field 35 times (27-8). They had a stretch of 5 straight games with .500 shooting (Feb. 7-22) for the first time since the 2009-10 season (Feb. 25, 2010-March 5, 2010). The team record is six, done twice: January 14-24, 1989; and again from February 18, 1989 – March 2, 1989. (Elias)

BENCH LIFT: Cleveland’s reserves averaged a franchise-record 41.2 points this past season, which ranked

7th in the NBA. The previous franchise mark for the Cavs’ bench is 36.9 points set in 1991-92.

• BENCH CREW: Jordan Clarkson (13.7 PPG, 2nd among reserves), Jeff Green (10.3 PPG, 19th among reserves) & Kyle Korver (8.9 PPG, 24th among reserves) all ranked among the league leaders in bench scoring this past season.

• 24+ POINTS APIECE: In a win over Atlanta on Feb. 9, 2018, Korver (30 PTS) and Green (24 PTS) became the first Cavs bench duo to post at least 24 points apiece since Feb. 2, 2002 vs. Detroit (Ricky Davis-28, Lamond Murray-24). The last such game for any NBA team to have two bench players each score 24 points or more was the New Orleans Pelicans on Feb. 19, 2016 (Ryan Anderson-26, Jrue Holiday-24). (Elias)

PERFECT LEAD: The Wine & Gold went undefeated when they led after three quarters at 39-0 (1.000), the only NBA team with a perfect record

in such instances this past season. They also became the first team since 1954-55 to go undefeated in a single season when leading after three periods of play. The previous best percentage after leading through three quarters since that time was .985 (64-1) by the Chicago Bulls in 1995-96. (STATS, Inc.)

DOMINANT STRETCH: From Nov. 11 to Dec. 17, the Cavs went 18-1, which included 13 consecutive wins (11/11-12-6) during that span, tying the

longest win streak in franchise history (13 twice, 3/7/09-3/31/09 and 1/16/10-2/11/10). Cleveland also picked up a franchise-record tying 7 straight road wins from Nov. 11-Dec. 4.

FROM DEEP: Cleveland connected on at least 10 three-pointers on 64 occasions, the 2nd-most such games in franchise single season history (65 in 2016-17). In addition to ranking 6th in the league in three-point percentage as a team, the Wine & Gold had three players rank among the league leaders in 3FG%: Kyle Korver (.436, 6th), Kevin Love (.415, 19th) and George Hill (.415, 20th).

• NAILING THEM: Cleveland averaged 12.0 three-pointers (3rd in NBA) and shot .372 from long distance (6th in NBA).

• RAINING THREES: The Cavs made 10 threes or more in 26 straight games from Nov. 9-Jan. 2. Their 26-game streak is a team record for consecutive games with 10 or more threes (prev. 16 twice, 10/25/16-11/29/16 and 3/9/16-4/5/16) and is tied for the 3rd-longest streak in NBA history (Boston, 26 straight from 1/21/2017-3/15/2017). Only Houston has recorded longer stretches of consecutive games with 10 or more threes (55 straight from 10/25/2017-2/25/18 and 27 straight from 10/28/2016-12/17/2016).

THAT’S LOVE-LY: Despite missing 23 games this past season, Kevin Love had 31 double-doubles, which was tied for 15th-most in the NBA. He earned his 5th NBA All-Star selection in 2017-18 and finished the season averaging 17.6 points and a team-high 9.3 rebounds (12th in NBA) in 28.0 minutes. He shot a career-high .880 from the foul line (12th in NBA) and was the only NBA player in 2017-18 to average at least 9.0 rebounds while making at least 125 threes. After knocking down his 1,000th career three-pointer in a win over Toronto on March 21, Love became the only player in NBA history to have a career average at least 10.0 rebounds and make 1,000 threes or more.

HUGE COMEBACK IN THE BIG APPLE: In Cleveland’s 104-101 come-from-behind victory at New York on Nov. 13, 2017, the Cavs overcame a 23-point deficit (73-50) late in the third quarter, outscoring the Knicks 54-28 the rest of the way. The last time the Cavs overcame a deficit of at least 23 points was Nov. 11, 2006 vs. Boston (trailed by 25 PTS and won 94-93). The Knicks had won 103 consecutive home games when leading by 20 or more points in the second half prior to that night. (Elias)

5TH NBA FINALS APPEARANCE: The Wine & Gold advanced to the NBA Finals for the 4th consecutive season and 5th overall (2007, 2015-

2018). The Cavaliers clinched their Finals appearance after defeating the Boston Celtics 4-3 in the 2018 ECF and joined the Celtics (1957-1966, 1984-1987), Los Angeles Lakers (1982-1985), Miami Heat (2011-2014) and Golden State Warriors (2015-2018) as the only franchises to make four straight NBA Finals. It was also the fourth year in a row that Cleveland and Golden State squared off in The Finals, which is the most consecutive meetings in a championship round among all the major pro sports (NHL: 3 straight between Canadiens/Red Wings from 1954-56; NFL: 3 straight between Lions/Browns from 1952-54; MLB: 3 straight between Giants/Yankees from 1921-23).

0-2 COMEBACK: In the 2018 ECF, Cleveland overcame an 0-2 deficit for the 3rd time in franchise playoff history (2007 ECF vs. DET, 2016 Finals vs.

GSW). Boston had never lost a series when leading 2-0 prior to their defeat (37-0).

SEMIS VS. TORONTO: The Wine & Gold advanced to the 2018 Eastern Conference Finals for the 4th straight season and 8th time in franchise

history (1976, 1992, 2007, 2009, 2015, 2016, 2017) after sweeping the No. 1 seed Toronto Raptors, 4-0, in the Semifinals. Only one team in NBA history has swept a best-of-seven postseason series against the same opponent in back-to-back years: Cleveland swept Atlanta in the 2015 and 2016 playoffs. The Cavaliers also became the first team in NBA postseason history to sweep a No. 1 seed in a playoff series prior to the Conference Finals, since the NBA switched to its 16-team postseason format. The Cavaliers have now defeated a No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference three times in the last four years (4-0 vs. ATL 2015, 4-1 vs. BOS 2017). (Elias Sports Bureau)

SECOND-MOST SWEEPS: The Cavs’ 4-0 sweep of the Raptors was their 10th best-of-7 series sweep all-time, which is the second most only to the Lakers’ 13. In the sweep, the Cavs averaged 118.5 points (.516 FG%, .411 3FG%) and 24.3 assists (8.0 turnovers). Cleveland tied their franchise record for field goal percentage in a playoff game twice in that series (.595 in Games 2 and 4) and had 6 players average double figures in scoring: LeBron James (34.0), Kevin Love (20.5), Kyle Korver (14.5), J.R. Smith (12.5), Jeff Green (12.3) and George Hill (10.3). (STATS, Inc.)

FIRST ROUND VS. INDY: Cleveland won their 2018 First Round series against Indiana 4-3 to advance to the Semifinals for the 12th time in

franchise history. The Cavs also overcame a 2-1 series deficit for the 5th time in their team playoff history (Won 4-3 in 1992 Semifinals vs. BOS, 4-2 in 2007 ECF vs. DET, 4-2 in 2015 Semifinals vs. CHI, 4-3 in 2016 Finals vs. GSW, 4-3 in 2018 First Round vs. IND).

GETTING IT DONE IN GAME 7: After a 105-101 win in Game 7 over Indiana in the First Round and an 87-79 victory in Game 7 at Boston in the

ECF, the Cavs improved to 5-2 all time in Game 7s (3-0 at home, 1-0 at The Q).

HOME STREAKING: From Game 2 of their First Round series against Indiana
