Two winning streaks of 15 or more games have culminated in a No. 1 playoff seed for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Cleveland (63–16) took care of business on Tuesday night with a 135–113 victory over the Chicago Bulls (36–43) for the top seed in the Eastern Conference. The Cavaliers started the season with a 15-game winning streak and later went on a franchise-record 16-game winning streak that ended in March.
