Cleveland Cavaliers’ Historic Start
The Cleveland Cavaliers have started the season with an incredible 15-0 record, making them one of only four teams in NBA history to achieve such a feat. The last time a team started a season 15-0 was the Golden State Warriors in 2016, who went on to set a league record with 24 consecutive wins. The Cavaliers’ perfect start is a testament to their strong performance and depth, with key contributions from Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell, and Evan Mobley.
Golden State Warriors’ Strong Start
The Golden State Warriors, known for their dominant play in recent years, have also started the season strong with a 10-2 record. Led by Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green, the Warriors have shown their ability to compete at a high level and remain a top contender in the Western Conference.
Key Factors in the Cavaliers’ Success
The Cavaliers’ success can be attributed to several factors, including the resurgence of Darius Garland, who has significantly improved his scoring and shooting percentages. The team’s depth and the contributions of bench players like Ty Jerome and Georges Niang have also been crucial in maintaining their undefeated record. Additionally, the leadership of first-year coach Kenny Atkinson has played a significant role in the team’s strong start.
