Cold in May, but the Cavs are heating things up.

Cleveland took a 3-2 lead over Detroit and heads into a big Saturday night game — not a bad way to keep spirits up while we’re still waiting on real spring weather. In the meantime, here’s the weekly news quiz to keep you sharp on what’s happening around the city.

We’re starting with a little Cavs history (deep cut), then hitting schools, development and a court decision about police oversight in Cleveland.

Let’s see how you do. 

Before we get started, let’s give a shout-out to quiz takers Kathy J., Edwina S., Mike H., Diane F., Loyal B., Chris E., Mary W., Kaushik S., Benjamin D., Martha G., Eve C., Mollie E., John M., Carl L., Jeanne-Hélène R., Salvatore N., Bob G., Marge C. and Judith A. for scoring 100% on last week’s quiz. Well done!

Ready. Set. Quiz.
