The Cleveland Cavaliers will take their new-found formula for success up against the Western Conference leader in success then they visit the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday night. After winning just 10 of their first 37 games, the Cavaliers went on the road and prevailed over the Detroit Pistons in overtime and the Denver Nuggets at altitude for one of the NBA season's most surprising winning streaks. Cavaliers coach John Beilein did it by shortening his bench, relying almost exclusively on starters Collin Sexton, Darius Garland, Cedi Osman, Kevin Love and Tristan Thompson.
