Report: Cavaliers fire coach David Blatt despite top record

The Cleveland Cavaliers have fired head coach David Blatt, according to Yahoo Sports.

Cavs assistant coach Tyronn Lue has agreed to a multi-year contract to become the new head coach, Yahoo reports.

Blatt was in his second season with the Cavs. He led them to the NBA Finals last year, where they lost to the Golden State Warriors.

Cleveland is 30-11 this season, tops in the Eastern Conference. The Cavs suffered an embarrassing 34-point loss earlier this week to Golden State.
