PREVIOUSLY...the Cleveland Cavaliers broke a 10-game losing streak when they beat the Knicks 109-102 in overtime on Saturday. The winning streak lasted the one game and less than 48 hours. They lost 101-90 at home to Utah on Monday.

The Hawks beat the Cavaliers 100-88 in Cleveland on November 2nd. Despite the loss, it was likely JJ Hickson's favorite night of the season.
