The Brooklyn Nets face the Cleveland Cavaliers at Quicken Loans Arena on January 27th, 2017. Here is all the information you will need to watch the game.
The Brooklyn Nets and Cleveland Cavaliers face off for the third and final time this season, tonight. The Cavaliers have won the first two meetings this season, with the most recent victory being January 6th.
Both teams come into this game struggling. The Nets have won only once all month and are the only team to not yet reach double-digit victories. They have only four victories since December began, and are riding a three-game losing streak.
The Cavaliers also come into this game on a three-game losing streak. LeBron James has been very vocal about wanting the team to add another playmaker to the roster even after trading for Kyle Korver already. Cleveland has actually lost six of their last eight games, and two of the last three losses have been in overtime.
Something will have to give tonight, and smart money would be on the Cavaliers snapping their losing streak, extending the Nets’ one. Cleveland is 19-5 at home, while the Nets are 2-19 away from Barclays Center.
Tonight is the Nets’ championship, something the Cavaliers have seemed unable to adjust to. They know that teams will be giving them their best shot all season, yet they have been unable to get up for the task recently.
This will be the last time this season the Nets have a chance to knock off the defending champs. Despite their lack of success, they will play hard and bring their A game to try and trip up a Cavaliers team that is struggling at the moment.
Will they be able to pull off the upset? We will have to watch and find out. Here is all the information you will need to watch the game.
