The Cleveland Cavaliers set an NBA record as members of the league’s elite eight percent club by winning their first 12 games of the regular season with a 119-113 beatdown of the Chicago Bulls. This is head and shoulders the best start to an NBA season since the Golden State Warriors’ 2015-16 season, when they embarked on a record-setting 24-game winning streak.
Mitchell scored 36 points; five other players made double figures in points; and Jsacson helped the Cavaliers come back from a 9-point deficit in the third quarter to win the game “We dug deep,” Mitchell said. “For us to continue to be what we want to be, that’s what it’s going to take.” “It was a complete team win. It is something different every night.
The singing and dancing we are doing is now about the team rather than ourselves. We’ve got to keep it going.” The Bulls’ defense held the Warriors to just 103 points, but it was not enough to get them a win and they are now 4-7 on the season Zach LaVine led the scoring with 26 points and Coby White and Nikola Vucevic each contributed 20 for Chicago.
In the other games, Victor Wembanyama netted 34 points, grabbed 14 boards, and distributed six assists as the San Antonio Spurs defeated the Sacramento Kings, 116-96. Julian Champagnie added 13 tallies, while Chris Paul chipped in 12 in the paint for the Spurs, and all of its starting players recorded double digits.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander shone for the Oklahoma City Thunder as the team got their money’s worth to down the Los Angeles Clippers 134-128, having been defeated by the Golden State Warriors over the weekend.
