Cavaliers look to finish strong in finale vs. Hornets

April 13 - The Cleveland Cavaliers will tune up for the playoffs on Sunday afternoon when they host the Charlotte Hornets in the regular-season finale.

Cleveland clinched a playoff berth with Friday night's victory against the Indiana Pacers, and the Cavaliers could be hitting another gear at just the right time.

"We should celebrate this accomplishment because everybody has worked hard to make this happen," center Jarrett Allen said. "But the job is not done."

The Cavaliers (48-33) trail first-place Milwaukee by one game in the Central Division. Even though the teams split four regular-season games, Cleveland owns the division tiebreaker if the teams end with the same record.
