Tenth victory in as many games for the Cleveland Cavaliers this season. The Ohio franchise blew out their mid-2010s rivals, the Golden State Warriors, 136 to 117 to further extend their unbeaten streak. Kenny Atkinson's team stinks of basketball!
After four minutes of play, the score of this meeting between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Golden State Warriors was 20 to 2, the visitors' only basket coming thanks to a miraculous shot from Andrew Wiggins; the tone was set.
The Californian team has been magnificent to watch since the start of the season, but this time, the scenario of the match was quickly known as they seemed physically inferior to their opponents. The Cavs' lineup is big, long and physical, a problem that Draymond Green and his teammates have never been able to solve.
Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley were quickly used as Point Forward, taking advantage of a higher center of gravity than the eight other players on the field to distribute the pancakes repeatedly. At halftime, the score of 83 to 42 reflects the appearance of the match better than any words!
It’s… I don’t have the words.

Eight players with more than 7 points, three above 20, proof of an ideal sharing of responsibilities and the number of Kenny Atkinson's men ready to take responsibility since the start of the 2024-25 financial year.
Darius Garland, author of 27 points and 6 assists in 30 minutes on the floor, validates his return to the forefront game after game!
DARIUS GARLAND FROM DEEP.

On the Golden State side, Jonathan Kuminga and Andrew Wiggins tried to limit the damage for a while and allowed the Bay Warriors to recover a little in the second half, but the damage was done… and well done.
