Cavaliers Seek Historic 15-0 Start Against Hornets

The Cleveland Cavaliers are aiming to become the fourth team in NBA history to start a season 15-0 as they host the Charlotte Hornets. With a current record of 14-0, the Cavaliers have set franchise records for their best start and longest winning streak, under the leadership of head coach Kenny Atkinson, who has won his first 14 games with a new team. Star guard Donovan Mitchell is resting for this game, allowing other players like Darius Garland, who averages 21.1 points, to step up. The Hornets, coming off a victory against the Milwaukee Bucks, face challenges with injuries to key players, including LaMelo Ball, who is pivotal for their success. The Cavaliers have demonstrated impressive scoring, leading the NBA with over 123 points per game, while the Hornets aim to disrupt their perfect record despite their own struggles. A win for the Cavaliers would mark a historic achievement in their franchise history and the league.
