Cavs v. Rockets

Interesting game.

Cleveland wins, and it cements their reputation as a legitimate contender. Houston wins and it creates the possibility of competition in the West for the purple.

The game is at Cleveland.

Houston has won eight of it's last ten against the Cavs, including four of five games in Cleveland. The Rockets have also won their last 11 consecutive road games against Eastern Conference opponents.

The Cavs, meanwhile, have won 22 of their last 24, including all 13 at home.

Vegas favors Houston, believe it or not, but the Cavs lead by three with 2 minutes to go in the fourth.

Cavs just opened up a 16 point lead in the fourth.

Verdict?

Cleveland is the real deal.

Houston?

Just another pretender from the West.
