Thanks to Donovan Mitchell pouring in 13 of his 23 points in the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers became the sixth team in NBA history to win at least 13 straight games to open a season with a 114-106 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers, who was without All-Stars Tyrese Maxey, Paul George and Joel Embiid. “We’re just sticking together,” said Darius Garland, who led Cleveland with 25 points. “It’s just taking it game by game. We know we have a target on our back, so we have to come in with that aggressiveness and that confidence that we’re going to win every game, and that’s what we’ve done. Although like I said, long nights, not much sleep, but we have to stick together and just keep going just to be good. That’s what we’re trying to do.” -via ESPN / November 14, 2024
