Following a loss in Phoenix on January 13th, the Wine and Gold would drop to below .500 with a 19-20 record. Two nights later in Los Angeles, the Cavs' season would begin their dramatic turnaround with a hard fought, 109-102, victory against the Lakers. With J.R., Shump and Moz all on the court and a rested and healthy LeBron James back in the fold after missing two weeks, the Cavs would wrap up their five-game road the very next night with a thrilling, 126-121, win over the Clippers. After those two gut-check wins in Hollywood, the Cavaliers would go on to win their next 10-straight games with the season-high winning streak hitting 12 following a 105-94 victory over those same Clippers at The Q. The streak proved to be the turning point in the Cavaliers' season and catapulted them up the Eastern Conference standings. In fact, since the pivotal January 15th victory against the Lakers, Cleveland would post the NBA’s best record at 34-9 during that span.
