Ty Jerome delivered an impressive performance with 29 points, leading the Cleveland Cavaliers to a commanding 128-100 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans. The Cavaliers maintained their dominance throughout the game, never trailing and achieving a franchise-best start of 16-1.
Jerome's standout moment came in the second quarter, where he scored 20 points and hit seven 3-pointers before halftime. Other notable contributions came from Georges Niang and rookie Jaylon Tyson, who both had significant scoring and rebounding efforts.
The Pelicans struggled with injuries, missing key players and relying on newcomers like Elfrid Payton, who returned to the NBA after a lengthy absence. Despite the challenges, rookie Antonio Reeves shone brightly, scoring 34 points.
