Cavaliers off to best NBA start since 2015-16 Warriors after 12th straight win

Cleveland come back to beat Chicago 119-113
Players pay tribute to new coach Kenny Atkinson

Donovan Mitchell scored a season-high 36 points, and the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Chicago Bulls 119-113 on Monday night to become just the eighth NBA team to begin a season with 12 straight wins.

Darius Garland scored 17 points for Cleveland, and Evan Mobley had 15 points and 11 rebounds. The Cavaliers scored at least 110 points for the 11th time this season. Their 12-0 record is the best start to a season since the 2015-16 Golden State Warriors, who went 24-0 to open their campaign. That Warriors team finished the season 73-9, another record, although they lost the NBA finals to … the Cavaliers.
