The Cleveland Cavaliers are on a historic run. They’re just the sixth team in NBA history to start a season 13-0. They’ve tied the longest winning streak in franchise history for any point in a season.

LeBron James is long gone, but the Cleveland Cavaliers are once again looking like an NBA championship contender. The Cavs moved to 10-0 on the young season after blasting the Golden State Warriors on Friday night in a showdown of former rivals who have reinvented themselves to become elite once again.

Cleveland became the first team since Golden State in 2015-16 to win 13 straight to start a season. That Warriors team holds the record for most wins to begin a season at 24 straight. The Cavaliers are just the sixth team in NBA/BAA history to start 13-0. In addition to the 2015-16 Warriors, the other four include:

Cleveland has raced to a 13-0 start by unlocking Evan Mobley and using a collaborative approach that works for this "selfless group."

Few teams in NBA history have come off the blocks with such ferocity as this year’s Cleveland Cavaliers, who at 13-0 hold the longest undefeated start to a campaign since the 2015-16 Golden State Warriors went 24-0.

NBA season with a historically hot start. Going undefeated through 14 games with new coach Kenny Atkinson, the team leads the NBA in points per game, field goal percentage and ranks second in point differential.
