Darius Garland led the Cleveland Cavaliers with 25 points, while Ty Jerome stepped up in Donovan Mitchell’s absence, tying his career-high with 24 points, as the Cavs secured a 128-114 victory over the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday night.
The Cavaliers remain undefeated at 15-0, becoming only the fourth team in NBA history to achieve such a start. They join elite company with the Golden State Warriors (2016), Houston Rockets (1994), and Washington Capitols (1949). The Warriors hold the league record with a 24-0 start, culminating in a historic 73-9 season. Notably, all three prior teams reached the NBA Finals, with the 1993-94 Rockets winning the championship.
Evan Mobley contributed a double-double with 23 points and 11 rebounds, while Jarrett Allen added 21 points and dominated the boards with 15 rebounds. The Cavaliers will aim to keep their streak alive when they face the reigning champions, the Boston Celtics, on Tuesday.
