Cavs' margin down 5.7 points a game over last 10
Cleveland's per-game margin has fallen from plus-2.8 for the season to a negative number over its last 10 games.
Over their last 10 games, the Cavaliers' scoring margin is minus-5.7 points per game, down from plus-2.8 for the full 2025-26 season through May 25.
That is a swing of more than eight points a game between the season line and the recent stretch. A team that has outscored opponents on average all year is now getting outscored, and by a wide margin, over its most recent 10 games.
For the trend to hold, Cleveland would need to keep losing the scoring battle at close to this rate across its next games, pulling the season average down with it. For it to change, the Cavaliers need games where they win the margin outright, not just narrow the gap, since a handful of blowout losses can keep the 10-game number negative even with a couple of wins mixed in.
The season is 100 games in as of May 25, 2026, so this stretch is a meaningful chunk of a long sample, not a single bad night. Whether it holds or reverses will show up in the next set of results.
