Episode Details

Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Kenny Atkinson has been named Eastern Conference Coach of the Month for February, marking his third career award and first this season. The Cavaliers had an impressive month with an 8-3 record, leading the league in scoring (120.9 points per game) and field-goal percentage (49.8%). They also ranked third in assists (28.9 per game). Key contributors included Jarrett Allen, Keon Ellis, and Dennis Schroder, who were acquired via trade deadline deals. The teams strong play has boosted fan and analyst confidence, with opponents scoring some of their lowest points against the Cavaliers. Atkinson joins Mike Brown and Lenny Wilkens as the only Cavaliers coaches with three such awards. He previously won twice last year. The Cavaliers start March with a 4-1 record and host the Boston Celtics on Sunday.
