Tyronn Lue of the Cleveland Cavaliers and Steve Kerr of the Golden State Warriors have each been named Coach of the Month for their respective conferences for October and November, the league announced Friday.

Lue led the Cavaliers to a 13-3 record over the first five weeks of the season - good enough for the top seed in the Eastern Conference. Cleveland has quickly become an offensive juggernaut under his guidance, leading the conference in points per game (111.3), 3-point percentage (.390), and 3-pointers made (221).

The Warriors went 16-2 in October and November under Kerr, finishing the month on a 12-game winning streak. Golden State entered December leading the league in points per game (117.6), point differential (plus-12.7), assists (31.1), and field-goal percentage (.502).

It's the fourth Coach of the Month honor of Kerr's career, and Lue's first.
