Cleveland Cavaliers Join Elite Club with 14-0 Start

Historic Victory Extends Unbeaten Streak

Bulls Unable to Halt Cavs' Momentum

The Cleveland Cavaliers have etched their name in NBA history, becoming the sixth team to start a season with a perfect 14-0 record following their dominant 144-126 victory over the Chicago Bulls.

Led by Donovan Mitchell's 31 points and Darius Garland's 24, the Cavs showcased their offensive prowess against a struggling Bulls team. Mitchell's efficient shooting, hitting 11-of-20 from the field, and Garland's playmaking ability proved too much for Chicago's defense.

The Cavs' defensive intensity also played a crucial role in the win. They held the Bulls to 38.7% shooting, including 27.5% from beyond the arc. Jarrett Allen's rim protection proved invaluable, as he recorded three blocks and forced numerous misses near the basket.

Joining an Exclusive Group

The Cavs join an elite group of teams that have started a season with a 14-0 record. Only five other teams have achieved this feat: the 1996-97 Bulls (72-10), 2015-16 Golden State Warriors (73-9), 2012-13 Miami Heat (66-16), 1997-98 Chicago Bulls (62-20), and 2007-08 Boston Celtics (66-16).

This historic start is a testament to the Cavs' offseason moves and the growth of their young core. Mitchell's addition has provided a much-needed scoring boost, while Garland and Allen have taken significant strides in their development.

Looking Ahead

The Cavs' perfect start has set the stage for an exciting season. They currently sit atop the Eastern Conference standings and are among the favorites to represent the East in the NBA Finals.

Their next challenge comes on Wednesday, November 16, when they host the Brooklyn Nets. The Nets, led by Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, will provide a formidable test for the Cavs' undefeated record.
