Cavaliers Clinch No. 1 Overall Seed In Eastern Conference

Despite going on a four-game losing streak in mid-March that allowed the defending champion Boston Celtics to close the gap by going on a nine-game win streak of their own, the Cavs steadied the ship over the last two weeks.

Cleveland had its first opportunity to clinch the top seed on Sunday but fell short to the Sacramento Kings, 120-113. Despite being without Donovan Mitchell on Tuesday night, the wine and gold were able to finish the job against an undermanned Bulls team that was missing seven notable players, including, Lonzo Ball, Josh Giddey, Nikola Vucevic and Coby White.

Clinching the top spot in the East is just the latest feat achieved by the Cavs in what's been a truly historic season. Last week, they eclipsed 60 wins for just the third time in franchise history and still have a chance to tie the best record in franchise history.

With just three games remaining in the regular season, it's unclear how aggressively the team will chase that mark, especially with Mitchell now nursing an ankle injury.

There is also still a chance Cleveland can earn a home-court advantage for the entire playoffs, but that requires the Western Conference-leading Oklahoma City Thunder to lose several games in the season's final week, along with the Cavs winning out.
