With their 135-113 win Tuesday night at Rocket Arena, the Cavaliers locked up the number 1 seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs.

By doing so, Cleveland assures itself of having home court advantage in every series they play in during the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Darius Garland led the way with 28 points, while Evan Mobley added 21 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists.

With the victory the “Wine and Gold” improve to (63-16) and have 3 games remaining in the regular season. The 63 regular season wins is the second most in franchise history.
