The Cleveland Cavaliers just served the Golden State Warriors a big slice of humble pie, beating them 136-117 and starting the season 10-0!
In an electrifying showdown in Cleveland on November 8, 2024, the Cleveland Cavaliers proved they are a team to be reckoned with! With an impressive start to the season that left fans buzzing, the Cavs faced off against the Golden State Warriors, led by the ever-reliable Stephen Curry. Despite the Warriors’ recent success in toppling former undefeated teams, Cleveland was not ready to rest on their laurels. Star player Donovan Mitchell emphatically stated he wants the team to keep their foot on the gas and avoid complacency to maximize this historic start.
As the game unfolded, it became apparent that the Cavaliers were more than ready to meet the challenge head-on. Led by Darius Garland, who put on a spectacle with 27 points and 6 assists, the Cavs managed to outplay the Warriors. The game highlighted not only Cleveland's offensive prowess but also showcased their defensive skills, clamping down on Golden State's potent attack, which had been dynamite in recent matchups. Draymond Green's status was concerning for the Warriors, and it clearly had an impact on their performance as they struggled to find answers against the relentless Cavalier squad.
The Cavaliers celebrated a remarkable victory, extending their franchise-best start to an unbelievable 10-0. Coach Kenny Atkinson, who previously served as an assistant with the Warriors, found the irony of facing off against his old team even sweeter. Meanwhile, Curry’s nearly double-double performance with 27 points, and 9 assists wasn't quite the heroics needed to turn the tide for Golden State, as they were left watching the Cavs dance off the court in triumph.
For fans of both teams, this clash was more than just a game; it was a testament to two different paths—one team climbing the ranks and the other looking to regain its former glory. While the Cavaliers are on the rise, eager to rewrite the narrative of their franchise, the Warriors, although boasting a wealth of experience and skill, find themselves in a tricky spot as they ponder the rest of their season with half-baked aspirations.
Interesting fact: The Cavaliers' 10-game winning streak matches their start from the stunning 2016-2017 season, when they also roared out of the gates, showing strong synergy. On the flip side, Stephen Curry remains one of the league's all-time leading scorers, always capable of breaking through defenses regardless of who he faces—just ask the teams he’s faced in the playoffs! With both teams on such fascinating trajectories, the basketball world is buzzing about what happens next!
