The Cleveland Cavaliers achieved a historic 14-0 start to the NBA season, marking the best start in franchise history by defeating the Chicago Bulls 144-126 in their first NBA Cup game. Donovan Mitchell scored 37 points, and Darius Garland added 29, contributing to Cleveland's longest-ever winning streak. The Cavaliers set a new franchise record by scoring 49 points in the first quarter, shooting an impressive 86% from the floor. This early lead proved crucial as Chicago struggled to close the gap despite strong performances from Coby White and Nikola Vucevic. The victory not only solidifies Cleveland's undefeated status but also sets the stage for their upcoming matches against Charlotte and Boston. The Cavaliers achieved these feats without star Evan Mobley, who was absent due to illness.
