Cavaliers Extend Winning Streak to 15 Games

The Cleveland Cavaliers achieved a historic 15-0 start to the season with a 128-114 victory over the Charlotte Hornets, tying for the second-best start in NBA history alongside the 1993-94 Houston Rockets and the 1948-49 Washington Capitols. Darius Garland led the team with 25 points, while Ty Jerome matched his career-high with 24 points in a game where Donovan Mitchell was rested. Despite key injuries affecting the lineup, including Isaac Okoro and Dean Wade, the Cavaliers' offense shone, scoring 72 points in the first half. Cleveland's win also marked their longest winning streak in franchise history, and they now prepare for a challenging matchup against the defending champion Boston Celtics. Coach Kenny Atkinson expressed concern over the team's recent defensive performance but acknowledged their offensive prowess, which ranks first in the league. The upcoming game against Boston will be a crucial test for the Cavaliers as they aim to secure a 16th consecutive win.
