Donovan Mitchell had an outstanding game, scoring 36 points to lead the Cleveland Cavaliers to a 119-113 victory over the Chicago Bulls. This win marked the Cavaliers’ 12th consecutive victory at the start of the NBA season, making them the eighth team in NBA history to achieve this feat.
In addition to Mitchell’s impressive performance, Darius Garland contributed 17 points, and Evan Mobley recorded a double-double with 15 points and 11 rebounds. The Cavaliers have shown consistency in their scoring, surpassing the 110-point mark for the 11th time this season.
The game was closely contested, with the Bulls holding a nine-point lead in the third quarter before the Cavaliers mounted a comeback. Garland’s layup and Mitchell’s free throws in the final seconds sealed the win for Cleveland.
While Zach LaVine led the Bulls with 26 points, the team struggled to secure a victory, losing for the fifth time in six games. Coby White and Nicola Vucevic each contributed 20 points in the losing effort.
Cleveland’s bench players also made significant contributions, with Georges Niang, Ty Jerome, and Caris LeVert each scoring 12 points to support the team’s victory.
Looking ahead, the Cavaliers will face the Philadelphia 76ers next, while the Bulls are set to play against the New York Knicks. Despite the win, both teams will need to continue improving to maintain their momentum throughout the season.
