Kenny Atkinson had a big smile on his face when he saw how well his Cleveland Cavaliers were doing. In his first season as their coach, they have won all 10 games they have played. “10-0 is something. It’s kind of a magic number, right?” Atkinson said happily. He was a bit worried before the game against the Warriors, who are champions. But he was surprised at how ready and hungry his team was. Winning 10 games in a row is a big deal for us,” he said.
The Cavaliers had a fantastic game against the Golden State Warriors, with Darius Garland scoring 27 points and Evan Mobley scoring 23. They beat the Warriors 136-117, making history as the first team in NBA history to win their first 10 games and score at least 110 points in each of them. The last time a team started 10-0 was the 2015-16 Warriors.
Under the coaching of Kenny Atkinson, the Cavaliers have been playing high-powered offense. They lead the league in points per game at 124.5 and have a field goal percentage of .526. This is a big improvement from last season when they lost in the second round of the playoffs.
General manager Koby Altman made a smart move by hiring Atkinson, who had previously worked as an assistant under Steve Kerr with the Warriors. Atkinson’s up-tempo style has worked well with the team, especially with players like Donovan Mitchell, Jarrett Allen, and Caris LeVert.
The Cavaliers have been utilizing their depth well, with 10 players averaging at least 15 minutes per game. This has allowed them to play fast and have fun on the court. Despite their excellent start, the players believe they still have room to improve and clean up their game.
Cleveland has been outshooting their opponents in every game, but they have only won the rebounding battle four times. They have also struggled with turnovers, committing 19 against the Warriors. However, the players are determined to keep working hard and getting better under the guidance of Coach Atkinson.
Overall, the Cavaliers have had a fantastic start to the season, and the players are excited to see how far they can go. With a great coach like Kenny Atkinson leading the way, the team is confident that they can continue their winning streak and achieve even greater success.
