The Cleveland Cavaliers are making history with a perfect start to the NBA season, winning their first 14 games. After a big win over the Bulls on Friday, they’ve become just the sixth team in NBA history to achieve a 14-0 record. Under new coach Kenny Atkinson, they have shown a strong and balanced offense, climbing the leaderboard with each victory.
Several key factors contribute to the team’s success. First, their red-hot 3-point shooting has been a game-changer. The Cavs are currently the most accurate 3-point shooting team in the league, making 41.2% of their attempts. Players like Isaac Okoro and Darius Garland have been instrumental in this aspect, consistently hitting from beyond the arc.
Second, the team is very flexible. They can adjust to different situations during games. Six players, including Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley, and Jarrett Allen, are scoring in double digits, giving the team many scoring options.
However, their perfect start hasn’t been easy. They’ve had close games, like their recent wins against the Milwaukee Bucks and Brooklyn Nets, where they had to fight back heavily to win. Mitchell and Garland’s leadership and playmaking have been very important in those matches.
Cavaliers crush Bulls in unstoppable performance
The Cleveland Cavaliers dominated the Chicago Bulls with a 144-126 win at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. Donovan Mitchell took charge with 37 points, leading the Cavaliers to victory, while Jarrett Allen added 24 points and 10 rebounds. Mitchell seems determined to prove the NBA writers’ predictions right with his standout performance.
In addition, Darius Garland scored 29 points, and Caris LeVert contributed 22 points off the bench. The Cavaliers’ bench depth shone, with Georges Niang and Ty Jerome also scoring in double figures.
