The Cavaliers won the NBA Championship, and it seems to have inspired and lifted the city of Cleveland, which includes the Indians.
Before the Cavs won the championship on June 19, 2016, the Indians had a decent record of 37-30. It’s now been two months since the title, and the Cleveland Indians have moved way up the standings and now hold a 70-50, 20 games above .500.
