Field Level Media: Not often is a No. 4 seed one of the teams to beat in the postseason, but the Cleveland Cavaliers are no ordinary No. 4 seed.
And that’s all thanks to No. 23, LeBron James.
The Cavaliers superstar is looking to guide his team to an eighth consecutive NBA Finals, a total no player has approached aside from the mainstays of the Boston Celtics’ 1950s and ‘60s dynasty.
Cleveland stumbled into fourth place in the East with a 110-98 loss to the visiting New York Knicks on Wednesday in the regular-season finale. As a result, the Cavaliers will open the postseason against the fifth-seeded Indiana Pacers.
