The Cavs were the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference with a 48-34 record.
They beat the Orlando Magic in the first round (in seven games).
The Cavs had missed the NBA playoffs from 2019-22, but were able to end the drought in 2023 (they lost to the New York Knicks in the first round).
Currently, the roster is good enough to be seen as a contender in the Eastern Confernece.
However, they will likely have to make some changes over the offseason.
After the game, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported the latest on their coaching situation.

There will be a lot of conversations on different ways to proceed for a franchise that reached Eastern semis for first time since 2018.”
