The Cavaliers’ amazing performance… ’10 consecutive wins’ after opening the season with a crushing victory over the Warriors
The Cleveland Cavaliers have won 10 games in a row since the start of the season, continuing their strong performance early in the season.
On November 9, Korean time, the Cavaliers defeated the Golden State Warriors 136-117 in the 2024-25 NBA regular season home game held at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse in Cleveland.
The Cavaliers, who achieved 10 consecutive wins with this victory, are currently the only undefeated team in the league and are continuing their upward trend, maintaining first place in the Eastern Conference.
The Cavaliers put pressure on the Warriors with strong offense from the beginning of the game. The home team scored 39 points in the first quarter, taking a lead of as much as 17 points, and added 44 points in the next quarter, effectively putting an end to the game.
Starting guard Darius Garland showed off his incredible field goal concentration and scored the most points in the game with 27 points, and five players other than him scored in double digits, ultimately leading to a multi-score victory.
Meanwhile, the Warriors, who lost the game, were hampered by ace Stephen Curry’s 12 points. Rather, on this day, the Warriors’ bench members’ performance stood out more than the first unit. Of the nine bench members who played in the game, four scored in double digits, and among them, Jonathan Kuminga contributed on offense and defense with 21 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block.
The Warriors, who have been performing better than expected this season, suffered their second loss of the season.
LeBron James’ triple double… Lakers beat 76ers to escape losing streak
LeBron James helped the LA Lakers escape their losing streak with a triple-double performance.
On November 9, Korean time, the Lakers defeated the Philadelphia 76ers 116-106 in the 2024-25 NBA regular season game held at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
The player who led the team to victory that day was James. James, who started as the starting forward, recorded a triple-double on the day with 21 points, 12 rebounds, and 13 assists, while Anthony Davis, who led the attack with him, scored 31 points and 9 rebounds, and Austin Reaves supported the team with 20 points and 7 assists.
A fairly easy game was expected for the Lakers on this day. This is because Tyrese Maxey, a key resource of the 76ers, left due to injury, and Joel Embiid was recently suspended for assaulting a reporter outside the stadium.
As expected, the Lakers easily took the lead from the beginning of the game, and in the end, the game ended with the Lakers having the upper hand with no change in atmosphere until the end of the game. Although the 76ers held out for the first half and had a glimmer of hope, the score gap widened too much due to a rain of outside shots starting in the third quarter.
The 76ers fought hard on this day, with five players scoring double-digit scores, but ultimately had a lot of trouble launching a proper offense without Embiid and Maxi. At least Jared McCain and Gershon Yabusele, who were candidates, combined to make as many as seven 3-point shots, which became the basis for the chase in the second half.
