The Cleveland Cavaliers’ white vest in the North American Professional Basketball League (NBA) has its first stains. The only undefeated team of the season lost on Tuesday (local time) at the Boston Celtics with 117:120. It was the first loss for the Ohio team after 15 wins.
35 points from Donovan Mitchell were not enough for the Cavs. They became the second team in NBA history after the Golden State Warriors in 2015 to miss starting the season with 16 wins in a row.
In the Denver Nuggets’ 122:110 win in the NBA Cup against the Memphis Grizzlies, Denver’s Russell Westbrook achieved the 200th triple-double of his career. The 36-year-old had twelve points, 14 assists and ten rebounds. Westbrook is the NBA record holder in this statistic. The Nuggets, playing their third straight game without injured superstar Nikola Jokic, gave their coach Michael Malone their 432nd win, equaling the club record.
