BLATT NAMED COACH OF THE MONTH: Cavaliers Head Coach David Blatt was named the NBA Eastern Conference Coach of the Month for games played in October and November.

It marked the second time Blatt has earned Coach of the Month accolades (March 2015) as he became the fourth coach in Cavaliers history to win the award more than once, joining Lenny Wilkens (three times), Mike Fratello (two times) and Mike Brown (five times). It also marked the 13th time in franchise history a coach has won the honor. Blatt led the Cavaliers to the best record in the East during October/November at 13-4 (.765), including a perfect 9-0 at The Q. During that span, the Cavs averaged an Eastern Conference-best 103.1 points and surrendered just 96.5 points, en route to posting the best differential in the conference at +6.6 points per game.
