More than two weeks have passed into the 2024-25 NBA season and the Cleveland Cavaliers have yet to lose a game.

Darius Garland scored 27 points against the Golden State Warriors as the Cavs improved to 10-0 with a 136-117 home win on Friday night.

Cavs Notes @CavsComments

The @cavs first half…
83 PTS (TIES FRANCHISE RECORD FOR POINTS IN A HALF)
41-POINT LEAD (MAJOR HALF-TIME LEAD IN TEAM HISTORY)
14 3FG (2ND-MOST IN A HALF IN TEAM HISTORY)#LetEmKnow

The Cavs got off to a hot start, with Donovan Mitchell contributing just seven points.

The Cavaliers reached a double-digit point total with more than five minutes left in the third quarter.

The core four of Garland, Donovan Mitchell, Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley combined for 75 points in the win. Allen recorded his third straight double-double, while Garland added six assists to his team-high point total.

Isaac Okoro contributed 16 points in his second start this season while effectively guarding Steph Curry on the other end of the court.

Ty Jerome added 20 points off the bench while shooting 7-for-8 from the field.

Jonathan Kuminga led the Warriors with 21 points off the bench, while Steph Curry was held to 12 points in the loss.

The Cavaliers are now the first team since the 2014-15 Warriors to start a season with a 10-0 record. Some fans think the Cavs, like the Warriors in 2015, could win it all next spring.
