This has also been the case for the now 15-0 Cleveland Cavaliers, and for good reason. New head coach Kenny Atkinson is off to, by far, the best start in the history of the franchise. Darius Garland is making a strong case for his second All-Star appearance and has been the best closer in the NBA so far this season.

Darius Garland scored 25 points, Ty Jerome matched his career-high with 24 in place of Donovan Mitchell and the Cleveland Cavaliers stayed unbeaten with a 128-114 win over the Charlotte Hornets

LeBron James is long gone, but the Cleveland Cavaliers are once again looking like an NBA championship contender. The Cavs moved to 10-0 on the young season after blasting the Golden State Warriors on Friday night in a showdown of former rivals who have reinvented themselves to become elite once again.

With Sunday's 128-114 win over the Charlotte Hornets, the Cleveland Cavaliers improved to 15-0, tying for the second-best start in NBA history. The 1948-49 Washington Capitols and, more recently, the 1993-94 Houston Rockets also started their respective seasons with 15 straight wins.

The Cleveland Cavaliers joined an elite group of NBA teams by starting their season 15–0, following a 128–114 victory over the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday.

With Donovan Mitchell resting Sunday, the Cavs improved to 15-0 as they debuted their City Edition uniforms and home court vs. the Hornets.
