The Cleveland Cavaliers continued their impressive unbeaten streak, defeating the Philadelphia 76ers 114-106 despite a strong effort from a depleted 76ers lineup. The Cavaliers, now at 13-0, are closing in on the franchise's best start and are just one win away from tying for the fourth-best start in NBA history.
Darius Garland led the Cavaliers with a pivotal third quarter, finishing with 25 points, while Donovan Mitchell narrowly missed a triple-double with 23 points, 13 rebounds, and nine assists. The 76ers, missing key players like Joel Embiid and Paul George, saw rookie Jared McCain shine with 34 points but ultimately fell short against the Cavaliers' depth and skill.
