Celtics vs. Cavaliers game as the Cavs defend their flawless record against the current NBA champions
The Cleveland Cavaliers want to be the second team in NBA history to win the first 16 games of a season. The Boston Celtics, who are the current champions, aim to prevent them from achieving this milestone. In an exciting NBA game happening this Tuesday at TD Garden, the Celtics are hosting the undefeated Cavs. The Cavs, starting the season with a perfect 15-0 record, have a strong offense and defense.
During the game, the Celtics took a significant lead at halftime, scoring well from the 3-point line. Players like Jayson Tatum, Al Horford, Jaylen Brown, and Payton Pritchard contributed to their score. On the other side, Donovan Mitchell led the Cavs with 13 points, but they struggled with their shooting, only managing a 43.2% field goal rate.
By reaching 15-0, the Cavs matched the winning streaks of the 1993-94 Houston Rockets and the 1948-49 Washington Capitols at the start of a season. The only team with a longer streak is the 2015-16 Golden State Warriors, who won 24 games in a row initially.
The Celtics have had a strong start to the season with an 11-3 record, excelling in 3-point shooting. They made an impact with a big win over the Knicks at the beginning of the season. This game against the Cavs, also an NBA Cup match, is another opportunity for them to show why they are considered top contenders for the championship.
The Cavs’ last defeat was against the Celtics in the playoffs last season. Will the Celtics end the Cavs’ winning streak, or will Cleveland make a statement with a 16-0 record after this game?
