Cavaliers Near Fourth-Best Season Start in NBA History

The Cleveland Cavaliers have started the 2024-25 NBA season with a 13-0 record, becoming the sixth team in NBA history to achieve such a feat, the first since the 2015-16 Golden State Warriors. This impressive start includes a recent 114-106 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers, with standout performances from Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland. Mitchell scored 11 of his 23 points in the final minutes, helping secure the win despite the absence of key 76ers players like Joel Embiid. The Cavaliers are now just one win away from matching the fourth-best season start in NBA history, with challenging games ahead against teams like the Boston Celtics. While they are off to a strong start, players like Mitchell emphasize maintaining perspective, noting it's still early in the season.
