Cleveland Cavaliers, 2nd Best Start in NBA History: 15-0!
The campaign's bestiality starts from a team that is already a part of the history of the best league in the world.
The Cleveland Cavaliers continue to make history after defeating the Charlotte Hornets 128-114, maintaining their perfect record this season. Led by Darius Garland with 25 points and Ty Jerome who matched his personal best with 24 points in place of Donovan Mitchell, the Cavs have started the season 15-0, tying the second-best start in NBA history. Only the 2015-16 Golden State Warriors achieved a better record by starting 24-0 in their historic 73-9 season.
The Cleveland team joins the Warriors, the 1993-94 Houston Rockets, and the 1948-49 Washington Capitols as the only teams to reach this milestone. Furthermore, the Cavs' dominance extends beyond their main stars, as Evan Mobley contributed 23 points and 11 rebounds, while Jarrett Allen recorded 21 points and 15 rebounds. It is the first time since 1972 that the Cavaliers have had four players scoring at least 20 points in consecutive games, solidifying their offensive depth.
With this victory, the Cavaliers extend the longest winning streak in franchise history, providing Cleveland fans with a reason to rejoice in a challenging season for the Browns in the NFL. Jarrett Allen highlighted how the city's energy has been crucial in this historic moment: "It's amazing how Cleveland has embraced us. They support us in every game, cheering all the way. The city is with us," stated the center.
Incredible streak
Although the streak is significant, the team prioritized Donovan Mitchell's rest, aware that the season is long and with greater challenges on the horizon. Kenny Atkinson, in his first year as the Cavs' head coach, praised the positive impact of the streak on the team's development, including playing time for the bench. Despite facing adversities, such as injuries to Isaac Okoro and Dean Wade in the second half, the team maintained its competitive level.
The next challenge for the Cavaliers will be against the defending champions, the Boston Celtics, at the TD Garden. This matchup represents not only a test for their perfect streak but also an opportunity to measure their potential against one of the strongest teams in the league. "It's a great test for us," Atkinson pointed out. "We want to see where we stand, what adjustments we need, and where we're headed. This game comes at the perfect time."
