Less than a week after a disappointing loss to the Golden State Warriors, the Cleveland Cavaliers have fired head coach David Blatt.
Blatt led the team to a 30-11 record this season, and reached the NBA Finals in his rookie year last season as the Cavs had a 53-29 record.
The Cavs also announced that his replacement, assistant, Tyronn Lue, signed a multi-year agreement to coach the team.
