CLEVELAND CAVALIERS EXTENDS WINNING STREAK TO 12-0

The Cleveland Cavaliers have opened the 2024 NBA season with an impressive 12-0 record, marking the best start since the Golden State Warriors' 2015-16 historic season. Central to their success has been Donovan Mitchell, whose stellar performances have helped lead the Cavaliers to victory over various strong opponents. Mitchell, following their recent win over the Chicago Bulls, emphasized the team's commitment to sustaining this level of play throughout the season, highlighting the importance of their focused and cohesive approach.

Mitchell also took time to commend teammate Darius Garland, who has rebounded impressively after a challenging prior season marked by injuries and personal issues. Mitchell’s praise highlighted Garland's All-Star caliber talent, noting how quickly his achievements are sometimes overlooked.

 

Evan Mobley, another cornerstone of the Cavaliers' lineup, attributed much of the team's positive energy and strong start to head coach Kenny Atkinson. Mobley credited Atkinson's leadership and offensive strategy with creating a balanced, energized atmosphere that allows the entire team to contribute effectively. The Cavaliers have so far defeated notable teams, including the Los Angeles Lakers, Golden State Warriors, New York Knicks, Brooklyn Nets, and Chicago Bulls. Their schedule has tested them with both blowouts and close games, reinforcing their resilience and versatility.

 

Cleveland’s next matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers could be a significant test, with Sixers star Joel Embiid potentially presenting a tough challenge. However, the Cavaliers remain focused on extending their undefeated streak and maintaining their early-season momentum.
