Cleveland Cavaliers might be one of the most surprising teams this season. They are tied with Oklahoma City Thunder for the best record in the league, currently with a 44-10 record.

One of the biggest reasons for Cavs success is Evan Mobley, who became an All-Star for the first time in his career. He believes the team's chemistry is greatly improved from last year, and that is the main reason for the record they got right now.

"I feel the difference is just our chemistry," Mobley said in an interview with Basketball Insiders. "Everyone is clicking on the same page and clicking at the same time. Everyone knows exactly where we’re going to be on the court and we’ve been having a great ball movement which has helped us a lot."

He believes the chemistry they have will help them win the championship this season, saying they definitely have a shot this season.

"I think this year is definitely the year for us and we all want to get to the championship," Mobley stated. "I feel like we all are on the same page with that and we all believe that we can win a ‘chip this year, so that’s the plan."

Although Mobley believes they have to improve defensively to improve their odds of winning the championship.

"I’ll probably definitely say defense as well," Mobley said, when asked what they have to improve to win the championship.

"We’ve definitely been a defense identity team, but our offense has been very high level this year. I feel like our defensive slide has slipped a little bit, but these next few weeks when we’re getting ready for playoffs, we’re definitely going to key in on that."
