The Cleveland Cavaliers extended their best start to an NBA season with a 10th consecutive victory by defeating the Golden State Warriors 136-117.

Darius Garland scored a game-high 27 points for the Cavs, who became just the 15th team to start with a 10-0 record.

Cleveland dominated from the start and led 83-42 at halftime, with Stephen Curry managing just 12 points for the Warriors, whose five-game winning streak was halted.

“10-0 is a magic number,” Cavs coach Kenny Atkinson said. “We are playing very good basketball and I am very happy with the position of the group.

“I was worried about tonight: They’re 7-1 and they’re rolling and they’re coming here, they’re champions and they’re going to try to knock down our block.

“The way we came out tonight, that surprised me, how ready we were, how hungry we were.”

Elsewhere, Jayson Tatum scored 33 points as reigning champions the Boston Celtics earned a 108-104 overtime victory against the Brooklyn Nets.

Boston, who suffered a first loss in their previous game against the Warriors, did not lead until the fourth quarter before sealing the win in overtime after the game was tied 94-94 at the end of normal time.

The Phoenix Suns edged past the Dallas Mavericks 114-113, with Jusuf Nurkic hitting a game-winning free throw with 0.8 seconds left.

The Los Angeles Lakers bounced back from four losses in five on the road to defeat the Philadelphia 76ers at home, 116-106.

Anthony Davis scored 31 points for the Lakers, while LeBron James recorded the 114th triple-double of his career with 21 points, 13 assists and 12 rebounds.
