Cavaliers Make History with Best Start in 55 Years

The Cleveland Cavaliers have achieved a historic 9-0 start for the 2024-25 NBA season, marking their best start in the franchise's 55-year history. This streak includes a significant 131-122 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans, with Donovan Mitchell leading the Cavaliers by scoring 29 points. Despite Zion Williamson's return and strong performance for the Pelicans, the Cavaliers' balanced attack, featuring key contributions from Jarrett Allen and Caris LeVert, proved decisive. New head coach Kenny Atkinson, formerly of the Golden State Warriors, has been credited for the team's turnaround from a 0-4 preseason start. The Cavaliers now face a challenging game against the Golden State Warriors, who hold the record for the best start in NBA history at 24-0. This unprecedented start has energized the team and its fanbase as they aim to build on their early success.
