Cleveland continues its wild ride. He went to sign his tenth success in a row, in ten games since the opening of the season, Friday evening in Ohio, against the Golden State Warriors (136-117). The Cavs are still at the top of the Eastern Conference standings.
The Warriors conceded their second defeat of the season, their first away. This setback makes them lose the leadership position in the Western Conference, in which they are now behind Oklahoma City, winner of Houston (126-107), and Phoenix, who snatched victory from Dallas (114-113).
“We can’t play better”

This is the fifth time in ten games that the Cavaliers have also exceeded the 130 point mark, what’s more in front of the second best defense in the championship, which they have shattered. “Ten victories, zero defeats, it’s magical, coach Kenny Atkinson exclaimed. We can’t play better than during this first half. »
During this memorable game against Stephen Curry’s team, which was only able to score 12 points, six Cavaliers players scored a double-double.
