The Cleveland Cavaliers have turned a corner under new head coach Kenny Atkinson, who transformed their playing style and led them to a remarkable 15-0 start this season. After two seasons of playoff disappointment, Atkinson's new philosophy focusing on ball movement and teamwork paid off, and the Cavs finished with the second-best record in the league. Key to this success was the development of Evan Mobley, who improved significantly under Atkinson's guidance. These efforts culminated in Atkinson being named Coach of the Year, marking a significant achievement for the franchise.
